What are you going to do to the timing? It cannot be altered unless you have had the timing chain off !!??

Having downloaded the Jatco manuals and updates, has anyone got a diagram or list that shows which components operate in which gears ?? I have a TD4 auto here (wife's) that sometimes bangs into 3rd and sometimes doesn't. Most noticeable with gear change when not under much power. Not inclined...

Looks like weeping IRD to driveshaft seal is next !! 🤔

TRW Automotive was the eighth largest automotive supplier worldwide and the seventh-largest company in the Detroit Metro Area and had nearly 64,000 employees in 22 countries worldwide. In 2015, TRW Automotive was acquired by German ZF Friedrichshafen and subsequently renamed ZF TRW Automotive...

Sounds like a sticky ring as you suggest. Assume oil is on inside of plug. Oil can get onto outside with a gasket leak and then run down when unscrewed so check ! There is a product called Redex which cleans and debungs rings. Don't see any reason why you couldn't run a dose through. Anyone...

Turbo would likely throw oil in and that would be blue/ black ??

So tested vacuum pump against a working vehicle. Both identical in response. For reference the pump pulls 24 -25 in hg Vacuum. 2 stabs on brake pedal reduce it to 15 in hg. Recovery to 24 -25 in hg takes about 15 seconds. So, not that. Before turning attention to the brake servo, which held...

Grey is over fuelling and is the unburnt diesel being passed through. As far as I understand.

I usually just lift air cleaner lid off and let the joining plastic come up in the air and uncouple. Perhaps shoddy !! Only on my cars. If doing a full service it all comes off anyway.

Hope the HP sorts it. Didn't understand the above??

Will have a look. If I have one it is metallic red!!

Good questions ! Will get back on those. I have checked that the servo holds vacuum if left for a few hours, so unlikely to be diaphragm. Not much in pump to fail though, either works or doesn't I would have thought. Anyone had a 'weak' pump ?? Thanks

Revisiting this again! Have MOTd the 2002 TD4 ES for the winter to allow me to do some jobs on the Sport. Headlining etc. Brakes work fine but running out of servo assistance after 2nd press. Vacuum gauge test shows no leaks and a good 24 inhg on idle. Press brake and vacuum gauge shows 5 or...

3 door front doors are much longer. In my experience they are a pain to get out of in car parks !! I have some new 5 door doors or can source 2nd hand ones. What do you need ??

What I can't help with is what happened to the HP pump pressure. You would think it would drop when spraying out the front, but whether it would be measurable. Have you done HP figures at say 2000 and 3000 rpm and compared with a working TD4 ??

Looking like the HP seals?? Very like the one I had that went.

I have fed back to the suppliers many times about the pad holes being in the wrong place. I use a tank cutter to correctly position them. They overlap with the factory holes but it sits right then. I think the pattern used for folding and drilling is wrong !!

Repair kit is available to hold the joints together. They work well and are more than a temporary fix... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142649657918?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_ejaT64KQiK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=b5qQSb6hQNK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks, I'm going to try the in line ally job for a Honda K Series. Stat is replaceable and hence you can change the temp if needed. Also, on an Automatic vehicle it looks like it will fit in place of the top hose joiner and require no hose removal or cutting so re-instatement is simple.

Was about to post same thing. V6 different and TD4 and 1.8 IRD are the same me thinks too !
