I see they come with the same cam bolts that i used on mine n orl

detent pins make more sense to me.

My fuel filters are after the pump mate.

It's not the filter. I suspect the timings jumped a tooth. Got a new timing belt kit to go on but I've never touched a diesel cambelt before and to be honest I've been putting it off

It's not too complex. Just follow the procedure in the workshop manual and you'll be fine.

I've got a Tdi timing tool kit if that's any use to you?

well ive just cheated a wee bit and lined up the tdc with the casting web on the front cover and adjusted the fuel timing by locking it with the timing pin and turning the crank so that lined up.

ok it means its not 100% but it was waaayyy out before. It now runs much better!

what's your setup look like then?

3 3 way switches?

at the minute its on single tank, twin tank is gradually being installed.

Have these sat in the garage though



I find i can run fine on the veg as it is (in this warmer weather) but for the depths of winter will have the twin tank.

ah right. yeah i'm going probably going with them too but maybe with separate switches.

sirai l340 are meant to be decent but hard to get in the uk or Danfoss Distributors M&M Controls, Solenoid Valve, Danfoss Transmitter, Contactor, Pressure Temperature Switches, ASCO, Wholesalers has a bunch you can spec out; but i doubt it'll come to much cheaper.

i'm looking at tanks atm.

i have a couple of speedboat tanks spare. Ill bring one with me if you want when i finally pick up this gearbox (ive gone all wolf like havent i!)

haha, i was going to mention it again

sorry... been busy - buying random property in bulgaria haha

cosy countryside property with outside facilities

omg thats like well posh!

Its got paint n everyfink!

Just done the first oil change on the 110... that i should have done about 20,000 miles ago. ...

still its just had several ltrs of home bargains finest own brand oil... MMmmmmmm

£10 for 5 ltrs

damn it, the fuel pump timing adjustment has helped with low end power, but medium to high revs there is nothing. Still struggle to get past 60mph

RRAAHH

I need to get my boost gauge hooked up so that I can understand whats going on with the turbo, I can hear it but no idea what boost its putting out, or if theres a split on the hoses etc.

Symptoms are a lack of black smoke at medium to high revs despite the diaphragm being turned around quite a bit! and no guts. If I rev the absolute tits off it in 2nd or 3rd, it will occasionally sputter out a little poof of black smoke just just a fraction of a second. My feeling is that it should be putting out clouds of the stuff with the way the diaphragm is set.

Ive checked the vacuum hose from the turbo to the injector hose and thats fine. Lift pump is working fine, fuel filter replaced, fuel hoses replaced, tappets adjusted

Losing my rag with the thing.

need to hook the gauge up. i'd use the rear unused plug on intercooler.

it does sound like fuel starvation.

also check the diaphragm isn't split, moves and the pipe is clear.. not just for splits

Injection pump diaphragm is ok, moves freely up and down.

Been advised it might be the wastegate actuator diaphragm could be split, then overboosting?

then it would be running great until it damages something top end.

easy to tell by revving the engine and see if the actuator arm moves..

you checked that your wastegate is closing? weren't you going to check it with the air compressor a while ago?

or fit the boost gauge

yerrrrrr... i really should get around to that.....

boost gauge is getting on my pips, ebay supplier keeps sending me the wrong stuff. its not rocket science...

You guys should not be tuning without a boost gauge and an EGT gauge. I am awaiting a bunch of gauges including an Innovate EGT gauge, boost gauge, electric fuel pressure gauge amongst oil temp, oil pressure, etc.

Without these you are guessing all the time and could cause more problems and damage.

it's less tuning and more keeping on eye on issues.

lil sly little tweak wouldn't harm though
