Hello, Picked up a manual TD5 a month or so ago, and has developed a knock in this time. It sounds like the front and only happens when I am not accelerating. I've been under and checked everything one could think of. I have replaced front diff and gearbox oil and started knocking after this...

Yes it did over-boost the odd time, would cut power for a second and then boost again, I'll crank it up to 1.3 bar but felt powerful enough at 1.2. Read a post on bypassing the modulator, I cant see any major benefit to this other than troubleshooting the modulator? But also cant see any...

Yes I’ve read up about 13 threads however this was way off on mine 13 threads and the adjuster bottomed out on the treaded bar. I suspect a replacement non genuine actuator, I used the pressure gauge to make it start to move at 1.5 bar initially which I know is a little over recommended but read...

Hello again. So I’ve done a little bit more work, front axle seal, changing fluids and installing a TF lift kit that came with the car swapping out the awful lift blocks. What a pain! I finally got the courage to give it the shoe, got it up to about 4250rpm and to my surprise the awful...

I have a couple compressors there that's not a problem, I will take another look through the forums. Thanks

Hello everyone! Just picked myself up an 01 manual TD5 and have been having some of the usual issues although one I cannot find an answer for is the throttle wastegate actuator. My locknut was loose when I checked so not sure what it should be set at and have read countless posts about 13...
