I'm off work for a week or so, looking at the last few pics do you think it's worth taking the turbo off and checking it out rather than just fitting the boost gauge? Cheers

Did you remove the bolts from the circles?

I use a length of wood on the front of the engine (just under the crank pulley on the oil pan bolts), this tilts the gearbox giving you a little more wiggle room.

Garage door

I replaced the rear crank seal at weekend, just checked under the car to see if the new is leaking and spotted this.

The way it smeared/smudged over the door when I wiped it I would say oil.

Cheers for the reply, will have a go at weekend. Spotted another potential problem today, was working on the car and had the rear in front of the white garage door, rear end was on drive on ramps. Had to start it a few times and noticed oil spatter on the garage door from the exhaust. 🫣

Boost gauge arrived, where's the best place for it? From a diagnostic point of view. There's a t piece on the small pipe that's on the turbo. Not sure what was there before but is that any good for it? Cheers

Bloody thing fell apart, new barrel came today. Same problem with the coil, it doesn't fit or lock into anything. Just kinda hangs there.

I don't have one fitted. 👍

Sooo, had a go at fitting the coil and it appears I have something missing from my ignition barrel. ATM the coil has nothing to attach to, any clue on what's missing? Cheers 🍻

I always thought they should be done hot? Since I've owned the car I've done the timing belt but never fiddled with the pump or fitted boost pin/ring. I guess there must be a way of setting it all back to default. Maybe worth looking into before I fit a new belt. 👍

What difference would the intake make? EGR is removed, has been since I bought it 👍

Hot, well, warm as it would have cooled a little while doing it.
