Tata help
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2013 11:52 am
I got a problem and was wondering if anyone can help or have any suggestions.
My misses has a 2010 Tata indica Vista which uses a fiat 1.4 8v vvt motor. 350a.xxx
She missed her 100000km service so I went to tata and asked what needs to be done. Cam belt was part of it and they said to me simple 8v motor.
After doing the belt the car went into safe mode and it seems special tools are needed to set the belt. I got a set off ebay for the fiat engines and it didn’t work. The small tata dealership here put a new cam sensor in as that’s the fault coming up. No difference and they said they don’t have the tools. Taken the car up to the main branch in Durban and they can’t get it right. They want to fly down a senior tech at our cost to look at it. Been 4 weeks with them now.
Shall I just get someone to wire up a dicktator and bypass the whole vvt mess. She needs her car sorted soon.
