Diesel wash I guess. Maybe 2 injectors are well stuck open ??
I put a set of known working ones in and haven't looked at the ones that came out. One was missing anyway.
Some photos:
Turbo didn't look very well.
Bellhousing, engine both soaked with oil. Head looks ok, scores in the bores !!!
Looks like cylinder 1 and 2 have had a prolonged wash !!
Just the failed engine to do an ortopsy on now !
Started this morning. I think I'll turn it into a competition to see what peeps think happened. Although of course, I don't know !!
So I know compression was bad across all cylinders and oil was...
Not sure what you are trying to do.
Did you use the bolt suitably adjusted to get leverage to pull the UJ yoke off ??
If so then the bolt is sacrificial and might be bent but never had thread damage.
How did you remove the VCU from UJ ??
Most need an air compressor and application gun. Don't have such things sadly. Unless we could borrow ??
Cavity wax seems the thing, but high pressure needed for the distances.
Found these. I took a 3 Door FL1 sill which I made some cross section photos from.
Maybe useful for rust proofing and wax injection.
Note that the grommet in the rear wheel arch covers the back end, the plastic door trim screw mounts get you...
As stated. Vehicle has had a replacement engine (112k) and new Borg & Beck clutch.
Tyres are as new, well worth a look if you want a 5 door SE.

On a FL1 I had one with a pin hole in the breather pipe. When the fuel went up the filler pipe (when it was filled to cut off), it also went a small way up the breather. Just enough to find the hole.
The hole, had been made by the self tapping...
V6 has a different VCU to TD4 and 1.8 petrol. No damper fitted.
3 door and 5 door are same length wheelbase.
If yours is missing do a search and check IRD and diff are not damaged before fitting then do the one wheel Up test afterwards to...
Not very often, fortunately, I get "one of those jobs" !
Offered to replace a strut top mount for a mate. Both strut to hub bolts and nuts seized solid, like they had become one piece of metal. My 350 + ft lb impact driver wouldn't touch it. Nut...
Hi, Thanks. I only had one and got that solved thanks.
If we could work out the pattern it would help others.
Assume you'd need a list of serial numbers and lock codes that match ?? I'm sure the forum could provide.
Before you condemn the top mount or bearing, whip the coolant bottle off and check the top nut is tight. Allen key in centre to hold. I had one that needed a new lock nut and unscrewed on its own !!
