Had a quick look under bonnet. Coolant level is back to normal an is usual colour and smell. Oil is not discoloured or reduced in level.

Havent no as in plymouth. Only one hose is swelling up.

New viscius fan fitted, new thermostat in place an coolant changed. Drove vehicle to plymouth an now have a temp needle that likes to wander round the dial an my rad hose on the right side of rad is swelling up rather alot. Any idea s? I think the stat is working fine as the top of the rad is...

Not a reference to that. One with cooler in bottom is for a manual gearbox one without is for an auto box. Baffle is in centre of rad to make it work correctly as both the entry an exit point of th rad are at fhe same level. Otherwise coolant flows In and out without flowing correctly through...

Viscous fan is very easy to spin when its warm . Electric fans are fine, but they are cutting in so she is running very warm. Hence new viscous fan an thermostat going in before driving it again. Should have realised there was a bigger problem when I replaced the split rad last year.

After changing the sensor, fans still sodding around so I checked the fan after running the vehicle to temperature and it span very easily by hand. Guessing I need a new one an may as well chsnge me thermostat at the same time.

Thanks, new i'd seen the info somewhere...

Im having to change my EAS pressure sensor, is there any advice for changning it.. Do i need to depressurise the system to replace it?? Thanks peeps

Oooh intrigued. Where did you stick it?? Was tempted to move mine, but ive used up rather alot of space with my intercooler.....

Why would you do that, its crammed in as it is... An your adding more electrics to the car to go wrong... Sadist

Wish i could afford to drive mine at 80........

All you need is: 5/8th oil line/ hose (rubber or otherwise) approx 1 m should easily cover it 8x hose clips. If you wish to do the transmission its 1/2 oil line for the diesel auto Cut the original sections out of the old line, clean up and de swarf etc.. flush em to clear the inners and...

It wont matter which you buy although britpart dont have the best name... Chances are the line will be seized in place. Are you replacing because of perished rubbers leaking as it very easy to just replace the rubber hose and a **** load cheaper..

I understand how they work. Just worked on assumptions from my petrol turbo tuning past.

Indeedy. Goes like a 3 legged whippet now..

Running larger bore hoses and much larger intercooler = larger air volume etc.... I was assuming that there would be potential for initial lag due to larger volumes.. Either way. Its not so all good things.

New intercooler hoses have been fitted and the vacuum hoses have also been replaced car has been driven for the first time. Pulls very cleanly through the rev range with no perceptible lag from the larger intercooler and boost levels are mainly stable at 1bar with a small boost spike to 16psi...

Check your radiator hoses, o rings etc.. shouldnt need to top up that often..

Bgger bugger bugger..

Yip was the second time
