Hi on my 300 there was a sender unit almost in line with the center rocker cover bolt on the right had side as you look in to the engine bay, its a two wire sender and its for controling the egr valve, so its now redundant:)

same here just seen some alu ones on flee bay and wondered!!! also there was more oil in my top intercooler pipe than I was expecting (no egr fitted) the ones on e bay have the following guide/sales patter attached "All engines need to breathe crankcase pressure to atmosphere and most are...

yep well aware of that, just wanted to minimise contamination and think cyclone is original 190k!! egr's gone and thats a good start

oh, the reason i was asking about modding is that I was thinking of fitting a new intercooler and didnt want any oil going into it!!

engine breather back to air intake. as you look into engine bay left hand side of rocker cover quite high up and central

has anyone modded it to vent to a catch tank?? or fitted the ally versions on ebay (think it maybe allysport) any benifits or is it easier to just put new oem ones on now and then

must say that looks really good but I tried something very similar and they ended too close to the hi/low lever and you couldnt select properly!! have you cut the back of the console out for clearance?? oh connecting boost gauge I used top intercooler pipe. if you remove egr valve your left...

in reality think you would be better spending your hard earned cash on a new radiator instead of gauges. you can get heavy duty rad with an extra row of tubes in the core but havent come across one fitted so not sure how good they are. If you have a full width intercooler you can also get a...

yep know what you mean, shouldnt be a problem, I only had problems when towing, but once it happened you loose a bit of faith and the second time paranoia sets in. Mine hadnt lost any water and the rad looked perfect externally.

only running two after I boiled the engine twice in a row, ended up being rad partially blocked internally, anyhow paranoia set in:eek: The one in the bottom hose does work quite well but it doesnt tell you engine temp, only the temp of the water (cooled by the rad) returning into the engine...

hi, just fitting a second aux temp gauge to my 300 and an using redundant temp sender tapping in the center of the head (it was for the egr control) The one I already have fitted is fitted in the bottom hose where you fit the sender depends what your trying to achieve??? the one I'm...

agree excellent thread slightly worried about egt when it was flogging up that hill today, there must be others with egt gauges fitted to your landy 'come on put my mind at rest' or am I heading to meltdown with the old girl again!!!

Well, diaphragm 90 degrees (prob slightly less) screw 2 turns in starwheel 1/2 turn clockwise did a run first and then after adjusting pump 60mph on flat 0.5 boost EGT temp 320 after tweek same but EGT up to 400 65mph slight incline 1bar boost EGT 450 after tweek boost only 0.7 EGT same...

720c is not far away from what I'm getting now without tweeks or trailer!!! Again not sure where I had 800c as a max temp from. Commited to having a go now, havent bought gauges for nowt!! this afternoon should tell, must try and get a reading from big hill on dual carrageway befor mods as it...

1700 what!! my gauge is in degrees C truck doesnt seem to go much beyond 600c. but to be honest I havent towed since I fitted the gauge. I'll give it a bit of a blast and see how high it goes, I sort of had 800C in my head as problem temps but dont know where i got this info from!!! Oh probe is...

got to go out for a bit back after lunch will have a go at first adjustment then. I will try and get temp readings for a 'control hill' at a set speed and then compare after tweeks, wondering at what egt temp problems start??

been following this thread for ages, really good stuff here. bit of a chicken with mine (300 manual) cos I've had a few overheating probs in the past. egr and decat is done (not much diffrence). I've now moved forward and fitted boost, egt and water temp gauges so no excuse for not...

yep vent for radio, had it all stripped out this afternoon. all connected dash end and tidy just got egt probe, boost pipe and one temp sender to fit, pipework done in engine bay. thinking egt into egr blank and wondering about the same for boost pipe (obviously other end) mine still has the...

wondered about vent for radio. Well got pod and cut 4 gauge holes in it, still small space for a switch x2 or something not enough for another gauge but 4 is kind of too many anyway, starting to look daft. at the minute I'm putting egt, boost and 2x water gauges (one in head and one in bottom...

I'll have to take the radio out anyway to run wires/pipe so I'll have a look then. Oh no air con on mine. Agree it really does look like a vent, but as I say nowt comes out! when does yours work and do the big demister vents blow the same time!!!! would be a handy place to run the wires...
