Hi I have just replaced the manifold so had to take the turbo off to get at it. Given that when I undid the oil lines to the turbo only a very small amount of oil escaped, is it really necessary to prime it with more oil?? Surely the turbo will not spin to fast at low revs and the oil system...

Mmmm Three days of hard labour under the carport in freezing cold!!!! but worth it in the end. The problem was an exhaust tappet believe it or not. I also took the opprtunity of re-positioning the timing chain which was two cogs advanced on the inlet side. I noticed this when I originally...

Hi Guys just as a matter of interest. Since the oil pump is nothing to do with the timing as such, why does does it have to be alligned with the timing chain sprocket? As you know, the pump chain has a specific link that should be in a certain position and the manual shows the pump sprocket...

Thanks for that mlkehunt I'll be doing the job starting mid week as I said to channel hopper so will let you know how I get on. Regards

Yeh Sorry to misslead I meant I had the rocker cover off. Your last sentence, - we won't go there shall we!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mlkehunt "" the oil pump gear was off its mark when crank and cams were aligned correctly but as it turns out I was being retarded because the smaller gear only turns 1/4 or 1/6 of the crank "" So if you were being retarded, what did you do to rectify the prob? I might be wrong but if the...

I don't think I did, did I?

Hi Channel Hopper Thanks for getting back to me. I can dismiss the chain. All seems quiet in the vicinity of it. I have also checked the injectors and they are OK. The sound a blow by makes is not the same as the metallic sound I am getting. Since I put some Ceramic grease on them when I...

Hi Guys Having recently changed the timing and oil chains I now notice what can best be described as a drumming which is coming from the resonator box in front of the engine. I am also now getting a loud clicking noise coming from under the rocker cover. I thought it might be an hydraulic...

Hi Mr Honda Thanks for your input. I decided to put the new chain on exactly as the old one came off. Got it all back together and thankfully the engine did start. I was amased at the condition of the the chain and guides. I have done 218k in the car and the chain hadn.t streched at all...

Hi Engine was ticking over nicely when it stopped all of a sudden. Traced proble to the fuel., or lack of it. Have got fuel to the pump as I have traced it up to the fuel line into the pump but when I turn the ignition on or when I try to start the engine, no fuel comes out of the fuel outlet...

Hi After a long (months and months) deliberation, I took the bull by the horns and started on replacing the timing chain and bits. One thing I noticed was the position of the timing marks. When all the (brass) coloured chain links are in the correct place and the camshaft cogs are in the...

Hi I've read on here that it is a sod to undo the crankshaft bolt. Have just tried mine and would agree with that statement!!! Just occured to me. Does anyone know, does the crankshaft bolt undo clockwise or anti-clockwise ie is it left or right handed thread. I have bought the necessary...

Hi Richar B Thanks for the reply. I've managed to sort it Unbeknown to me, Windows 10 would not let me default to IE11 - it kept going into Chrome in the background and this disc does not work with Chrome does it. Haven't long ubgraded to Windows 10 from 7 and I am not at all sure it was...

Has anyone else had a problem with there copy of the disc not being recognised by IE 11 under Windows 10 All the while I was using IE8 with Windows 7 it worked a treat but have just gone to use it after having upgraded the computer and it refuses to read the disc. Have no problem with other...

Hi guys I might have to remove the head to enable me to extract a nasty little sticky injector. Holdcroft want £420+ just for the head gasket set so I have been looking at head gasket sets online. They seem to be a more reasonable price. I am informed that the head gasket comes in five...

Thanks Fahad

Hi Does anyone know where the engine number/code is stamped on the engine? Many thanks

Hi TJ Got me thinking. Took all the injector solenoids of and made absolutely sure that the internal components including " the little speck of dust" ball bearing and shim were seated correctly. So,so fiddly. I literally needed to work with a magnifying glass I am surprised that Bosch have...
