That 4 times press has worked for me as well to resync -

1.7 bar from the turbo is huge-in theory a diesel can never have enough air but that's the most I have heard about If you turn the screw-at the back of the injector pump- from the 12 o clock position to the 20 min past position you should fly like a scolded cat

for the alternator to produce current / voltage it needs a supply from the battery to start the process so it's one of the wires connected to the alternator

Are the pistons oversize at all ?

mine is a D1 so that "breather hole " is covered by a plate with a bearing on it for the aircon belt tensioner not sure if this is the answer you were looking for

I second that on the release bearing noise - have had them done at least 5 times and they all are noisy within 5000 km But it was a dry wining sound - not rattily

Google says its on Newhaven road near corner with poplars ave , warrington

Mine is the same as that one the only issue I had was that both inlet and outlet don't have a little raised lip like the original - so the silicone pipes in my case didn't want to seal nicely and a better set of hose clamps was required

On the wading plug that goes into the bottom of the bell housing I have had 1 instance where I sat in the deep water - at door window level stuff - for a few minutes wading plug was in but the bell housing isn't sealed so water got in up to clutch plate level and then didn't flow out Things...

That allisport intercooler is going to make a big difference is it the very big one or just the big one

On the exhaust manifold - in the global south anyway - some have coated the inside of the manifold with a "powder coating" the stated objective of these peeps is that you want the temp delta between before the turbo to after the turbo to be as great as possible don't understand it but they...

a fellow 300 tdi nut here looking forward to this one a lot thanks

the only other place it could leak from would be the pin through the body that connects to the turbo waste gate thingy bullhorns maybe ?

you have 1 or more UJ's worn very badly get someone to turn steering from side to side while watching from below easy to spot - scary to drive like that

I had something similar and turned out the brake shoes in the drum needed re- alignment Replaced the shoes and all the little clips and springs and all good to go maybe take the pressure off the shoes by adjusting the adjuster at the bottom of the brake drum off and see what happens cant...

I think the "core plug' is tapered so it cant fall inwards. In the global south we call them a welsh plug though Lucky it's that one that's leaking as there is one at the back of the motor as well I have had one blow out 30 mins of driving after picking it up from my mechie who replaced them...

It will bleed - but as soon as pressure is needed to push the clutch fork the fluid takes the path of easiest resistance and in my case that is back into the reservoir

mine did the same for many years till it wore out while doing 60 on the road you just need to switch off while still driving and then on again a second later and it clears till the next time no need to even take it out of gear

this is for a discovery 1 300 tdi 97 model so a square reservoir if someone has a master handy and can tell what it looks like in the bottom of the reservoir it would be much appreciated i have a hole going straight through into the cylinder which would explain why I can't get pressure

i r going to get to the bottom of this no matter the consequences master cylinder so past logic doesn't count for reference the front is where the pipe attaches to feed fluid to the slave there has to be a one way valve between the reservoir and the body of the cylinder otherwise the fluid...
