Wammers old chap, we have a lot of little fellows come to us here in the antipodes from many places overseas, Aisia in particular, that got their trade tickets sweeping the floors in this or that car assembly plant in their country of origin, many of them get in on "special" work visas because they have a certificate saying "mechanic" and because we are a "laid back" lot and these folks will work for a lot less money, they get to play in our workshops, whilst we pay for them to make a good guess at what the problems with our vehicles are.
But I digress, not saying this fellow is one of them there but he certainly is telling you he knows his stuff, but is obviously sworn to secrecy, so it must be important stuff........must it not?
Chaps like us, well we are just, well, silly od farts, dunno nuffin mate!
although I will agree but since I still own my silly old UK passport living in a bigger country puts your knowledge to the test
for example some places here in Australia has no phone reception ,,and the closest town is a 5 hour drive ..you need to learn quick and think out side the box ..45 degree c sun baking while trying to diagnose a fault isn't fun ( while the UK has heat wave of 30 c people drop down dead ) . ..to be honest my mechanics certificate from the UK means nothing in another country like Australia
there is a big difference when some one here in Australia says I only live up the road ..this could be a 3 hour drive compared to the UK version I only live up the road 300 metres away and be in the same street
I did find us mechanics in the UK had it to easy ..I found my self to be a fitter not a mechanic .like I say my cityand guilds tickets means jack ####
Australia I understand is a big block of land, I've seen a fair bit of it in the last 67 years, remote....yeh I understand that too, living 2000 klms north of Brisbane on the pointy bit, some of us old blokes have actually seen some stuff and done some stuff.
You are right it can get hot, one of the mines I used to work i had daytime temperatures of 60 degrees C on the ground at the bottom of the open cut, 300 metres down,10 minutes out of the air conditioned cab of the "mine cruiser" 10 minutes back in, not a great place to have to take time to diagnose problems with a dozer, face shovel or dump truck.
My point is that diagnosing a particular issue is hard enough when you are on the spot and seeing, hearing, feeling the problem yourself let alone relying on someones percieved description of how it is, diagnosis, not the computer plug in type but the seeing, hearing, feeling type is a dying art.
If you imagine a brake drum with a failing bearing!!what kind of rumbling noise ie does it sound metallic /tinny sound and how long does it last
hope you get to the bottom if it before some thing lets go and causes more damage
hey wammers I forgot my broom this day to sweep the mine sight or am I still pulling these pics from my bum hole ?????
lets hope I haven't forgotton the POMEY banter
If you imagine a brake drum with a failing bearing!!
wammers back to the start as I knew I read the post correctly
to prove you wrong again lets wait
lets see marky results when he uses a screw driver as stethoscope ??
as for calling out people like Bremble ..HMMM where is he .hopefully this guys joins in and explains better than me how a TC works
as for forcing the fault read back through the posts he isn't revving the engine for the fun of it
..
like I say I envy this guy he found a fault or a fault accruing please help this guy ..instead of telling him the do and donts about revving the engine
What sort of a up you own arse dickhead are you? Don't talk out of your arse all the time for christ sake have a day off. If you advocate revving a turbo diesel automatic to 2000 RPM then switching the engine off you are a complete and utter pillock.
obviously you never read the full post LOL
but finding an issue some time you need to bend some rules (the OP mentions he does not rev the engine he also mentions while driving he does not give the old girl a hard time )
I have broad shoulders so name calling is like water off a ducks back but ....your still thinking its a turbo issue (well good for you)
although I will agree to allowing a turbo to cool down to idle temps reason I have accumulator tank connected to my turbo (do you need proof)
but revving a TD5 only produces 2 psi ...not like under load to 17 psi then shut down a different story
ps not to sure what page you on but its a diagnose purpose only so name calling really shows your age
so please stay on topic this guy has issues down below bell housing area whats your thoughts are you still whinging about the turbo shut down LOL
Also don't bang on about City and Guilds. We had a lad at Morris services who had City and Guilds Tech 1. Which basically meant he was good at mechanicing with clean hands a pen and a piece of paper. He was the worse hands on mechanic in the place
like I said in an early post papers mean nothing here in OZ
seems you still have a hard on about the idle shutdown LOL that was no the cause of this topic
"wammers, post: 3869383, member: 23201"]Well it is the best way to shut an engine down. Why don't you try revving your TD5 until the governor kicks in then switching it off and see how long it lasts. Don't know about modern auto boxes but at one time revving automatics in neutral caused all sorts of failures.
