Sounds like egr . If u dont remove it soon it will self destruct . :eek:

Or could be the alternator on its way out , it did it with mine when alty packed in . gradually got worse then stopped and i ran out of electricity :doh:

Bumpp

Hi there , my mate has a stage 1 v8 and has lost the fuel cap ( dont ask how becasue he doesnt know :rolleyes:) He has ordered 2 caps now one from Steve Parkers and one from Paddocks , both wrong !! It is the same gas cap as a series 2a ex mod that my friend had a few yeas ago . The Stage1 has...

:doh: My bad !! Never was any good at english :rolleyes: Thanks for all the help (appart from the ridiculing) haha

Right , sorry about the wait the mechanic was away until today . Did as said i put the old airbox back on (wasnt told to but i paniced :o) had the engine running and used a proper mechanics stethoscope (spelling might not be right ) to fault find . Couldnt pinpoint where exactly the noise was...

Right this is good info guys cheers , EGR has been blanked did that when i got the jeep nearly 2 years ago . Looked around the engine with it running and there is no visable sign of thing moving as they shouldnt , being loose either . As i revved the engine whilst under the bonnet the...

Only run it for a few seconds though am i right because it wont be turning the water pump ??

Cone type , tucked the pipe (singular) at the side of the filter . What should i havce done with it ?

Yes there is the pipe joining the air box to the turbo and it has a oily inlet pipe half way between the turbo and airbox . Is it run off the oil pump ?? Could a blocked oil filter be the problem causing the turbo to run dry ?? The alternator had a load of mud in and a loose bearing so its...

I have a 300tdi on a R plate with around 117,000 miles on . I fitted a k&n air filter on the other day to see if it needed more air ( another story :rolleyes:) I ran it for a few days and it has developed a knocking noise from which two mechanics have determined that its is the alternator ...

The same happened to me a couple of weeks ago , clunking noise whilst driving then every now and again it would grab and pull me left . turned out the full bearing had disintrigated and was sat in the bottom of the hub . Took about a hour to get the inner cup off the stub axle as it had welded...

Looks like they have 3 orders on the way because i was going to order one too :D They are a smart bumper and if it is welded like pidgoen poo it will be going back but i doubt it will be !

Wow think i have really opened a can of worms here ;) From what i understand about exhausts (which is probably wrong) there is a 'optimum' point which is designed to keep a little of the back pressure in the pipe to heat the exhaust to allow the gases escape the fastest . A pipe that has too...

likewise thats what i was thinking , but it needs to get in as fast as its getting out and just had a looksie at the airfilter and its decided to , well , eat itself :o part of the filter has turned inside out so need a new one asap , i think it was from going to cowm pay and play last sunday...

Yes i find it does sound lovely, it has burble to it and there is a whistle too obviously from the turbo but it makes it sound great it even turns heads now :D:D So now i have removed the centre box it shouldnt be as economical as what it was before ?? Oh dear how come when i am debating...

Well it probably does but it sounds so awesome with a de-cat pipe and a middle silencer replacement pipe that i just floor it everywhere now :D once again i love driving i just wish it was faster lol but oh well cant have the best of both worlds and i would definatly rather go anywhere than fast ;)

Yes that sort of design but neater lol sort of like a southdown snorkel but cheap :D Where could i get the 70mm rad pipe from would that be a truck size of piping ? If it is i could probably get some from my uncle as he has a hauledge company .

Well i am going against most people on the forum and going to make a .... homemade snorkel :o Money is a bit tight at the moment and i cant afford to shell out £££ for a snorkel so i will be making one from a piece of 68mm drain pipe and some rubber hose . I have seen it done last week and the...
