Download K11 workshop manual?

[stevehunt]

Can it be true that there is no K11 manual that can be downloaded? Have searched the net for ages and cannot find anything for my 2001 1.4se auto... Would have thought someone would have made one by now...

Yeess... But need to sort out my car today, live out in the sticks and there no haynes manual shops in the field next to me, or the woods behind! With my car not working, not easy to get into town....

Hi Curtis..

This is the post I put on the K11 Tuning forum..;
Only had my car for 3 days (1.4se 2001 auto, 83k).... sniff....
Had it checked at an engine tuning garage on the first day, they said the rear lambda was shot, it was just about working, but definitely needed replacing.. Have ordered a new one which should get to me tomorrow...
Today I replaced the rear silencer as the baffle had gone on the original one making it sound like a sherman tank!
Also replaced the air filter today...
It drove very well today, got to see how nippy it was for the first time, was feeling quite chuffed with my new purchase.. my neighbor drove it around my village for 5 minutes, parked it up in my drive, then 10 minutes later when I tried to start it, the engine management light came on (orange, not flashing) and although the engine is turning over fine, it will not start!
Have looked at loads of past posts regarding the engine management light and there seems to be an enormous variety of problems that can go with this..
Is it possible that my rear lambda has finally died completely? Can anyone recommend where to start trying to deal with this? Have spent all my money on this car and all the new bits for it, am very worried I have bought a pony...

The rear lambda is arriving today (I hope!) and I cant seem to find where it is located, either end... Would like to know how to replace it.. Also, am just about to try the 'disconnect the battery, short +ve and -ve leads then leave for 5 hours' method of resetting the ecu, unless someone knows a better way
or reason for not doing this..?

Thanks
Steve

http://www.cats-direct-shop.co.uk/lambda-sensors.php ---cheap, but relaised you had already ordered, might still be of interest

Writen by swiper : "
you'll need a new lamda sensor then. i think the other end of the connection goes into the w/h behind the distributor. i think it then routes under the dizzy to that bracket in the pic above"

Sorry mate, thats all i could find on it using the search

Lots of people should know where this is, but dont seem to be wanting to help lol wish i knew where it was but mine doesnt have one lol
good luck anyways

Thanks curtis..

Have ordered the 4 wire universal (not titania).. Hope that is the right one... What is 'w/h' and 'dizzy' please? The picture you refer to is of the lambda sensors for sale, was it supposed to be another picture? You think it wont start due to the lambda? Have read many posts about this but am unsure whether this can cause it to not start at all...

Steve

Curtis.. Could you show me the link to swipers thread?

 

[curtis]

http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=3032&highlight=lambda thats where the link came from

http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=11367&highlight=lambda thats the thread but not alot of info

the dizzy is the distributor cap where 4 HT leads go onto.... not sure about w/h

 

[stevehunt]

thanks curtis...

You are right.. not a lot of info..
Have removed my rear lambda, its black and coated in soot... gonna clean it with just a clean soft cotton rag, no solvents... fingers crossed...

steve..
