Hi
I'm replacing the timing chain on the above and am having problems getting to the timing cover due to the engine mounting bracket frame being in the way.
This has three main bolts and a smaller bolt at right angles to the bracket that needs to come out so that it will allow the bracket to move away, however this bolt jams up against the power steering housing and you cannot get it out far enough?

Does anyone know whether you need to remove the pump and if so how is that done as I can't even see around the back to work it out?

Just wish there was a workshop manual for these damn vans!

I don't know the answer to your question, but isn't it a Corsa underneath the bodywork?

It sort of is, actually a Fiat Doblo.
Main problem is that late Combo’s with Aircon have so much more stuff around the engine than anything else that shares the basic unit.
Really making life difficult for me ☹️
