    • That’s cheap. I’d snap that up and if you don’t use it you’ll still get at least your money back. For Justin.

      Are you going to pull your head and take a look?

        I’ll be pulling the head off to have a look and see the damage and try and work out why and what happened .

                  • That is a bargain engine to be fair. I was going to snap it up if no one else wanted it just as a spare or if I decide to mTdi the camper or something or, err, I dunno, it’s just so cheap!

                    • I made some progress today, I didn’t do as much as I’d have liked but I was taking my time and being methodical.





                      How tight is this supposed to be on the turbo inlet ?






                      Also the cause of the sudden top end rattle and the subsequent engine lock up is a seized water pump .

                        Do you have an undertray fitted?

                        Tight - they are often loose, cause running problems and a well documented problem area.

                        • The first thing I did was to take the undertray off ,big steel lump , pain in the arse on your own , any tips / tricks for making the pipe tighter as it was too loose for my liking .

                          The inlet is caked as can be seen in the pics , I’ll give this area a good clean and blank of the egr valve .


                          edit , just read that there is supposed to be an O ring in the inlet pipe .

                          • These inlets are always disgusting. If it’s coming off then I’d suggest getting it in a parts washer to help remove the half inch of shit that will definitely be inside it.

                              I’m sure the O ring should be seated on a recess around the turbo inlet?
