I just drove it to work and back, thats 20miles only. Will drive it tomorrow and see if anything changed. I would really want to take out the intake manifold itself. It would be a big job but I recon I will do it at some point B) And yes, what is the problem dave?

Nice one mate, thats what I call a review:) Thanks!

Nice! Another mod I need to do then :( It never stops...

Excellent mate I want to do that!! It just looks brilliant :( Well done.

Thanks guys. Faddy - cant explain it really, but you may be right. Low quality fuel for an extended period of time might have caused the oily stuff to deposit on intake elements. It was an ex-lease car so I wouldnt be suprised. Nuno - intercooler piping looked ok, most of the oily stuff was...

Shiny, me likey:))

Darn...I replaced the MAF few days after i bought my car. Reconditioned part but it worked well. What I dont understad is how the hell this time it burned 0.9l more on 60miles... My driving style didnt change.

Not as of yet. Anyway here comes the EGR. Remove the air box first. EGR is very easy to remove, there are two nuts you have to undo and one bolt. All 12mm. Next thing is to remove the two bolts that hold the pipe that goes into EGR. Once again you will need 12mm socket to do that. Here a pic of...

Excellent mate:)

Very low average MPG this time...33.9MPG. I just dont understand...

Cheers CJ :blush: I tried to clean around it but it was really hard to do so I decided to remove it from housing. Then I installed the valve back and then pressed it to close position with screws still loose. Once it fitted perfectly I tightened the two screw that hold it in place. This way I...

To anyone interested, I posted a DIY on how to clean the inlet manifold, the EGR side. Will do the EGR tomorrow if possible. See the DIY section. dan

Yello Got myself together today and decided to have a go at inlet manifold and EGR. EGR part is not completed as of now, no time today. But I spent like 3-4hrs cleaning the inlet manifold. And I tell ya, it looked horrible. I started with getting off the engine cover (obviously). Then removed...

So same here then. I can usualy get around 90 miles before needle moves. It seems that you get the same sort of milage on half tank, so why I get like 50 miles less from a tank than you? I dont drive like a madman after it hits half a tank to make that sort of difference... dan

Here are my milage and temp readings readings. I usualy get 250-270 miles to the half tank (well the needle is in the middle). dan

Mate if its the turbo, you can easily get a used one off ebay. Some cheap stuff there:)

Thats great CJ, good news. I gonna try it as well once its sorted. dan

I think it applies to facelift diesel only, please confirm. Facefilt models have vacuum operated EGR, in pre-facelift ones it is an electrical part. If Im wrong, bin my reply:)) Dan

Hmm it is for a facelift model from what I see. Vacuum operated EGR. It is slightly different from prefacelift one but I recon the principle is the same. dan

Did you disconnect the valve from pipe that connects to the manifold? It is hold by 4 bolts, I undone these but was able to pull it up by 1/2" only. Should I pull harder? Dan
