    300 Tdi Rebuild

    Just replaced my turbo a couple of weeks ago. I did put a thread on here but search function is down so can't post a link. I had the same problem with the kinking pipe. I just fitted it at the block side first maybe 90 degrees out so when it tightened and twisted it ended up in the right place...

    110 rear refit - looking for ideas/inspiration

    stable matting :) £40 a big square. took two to do the back with a lot of off cuts because it wasn't flat. Does a good job of sound deadening. give you dimples in your bum if you're sat on it for too long though :)

    Replacing 300TDI turbo with VNT

    LOL I got lucky there then :) just thought it would be closest to the bulkhead so easiest to fit. :) I'm too scared I'll cook the engine or damage it some other way to go over the top with the mods. I tried a boost pin and slightly adjusting the fuel pump but ended up over fueling so backed...

    Replacing 300TDI turbo with VNT

    Install new turbo instructions: Remove turbo assembly 1. Disconnect the battery. 2. Drain engine oil and change oil filter (fill filter with oil before refitting or take an age priming later!) 3. Slacken the clamps and remove the air trunking connecting the intercooler to the inlet...

    Replacing 300TDI turbo with VNT

    Hi BFG, I've got a line running from the inlet manfold to a pressure gauge in the cab. #10 wasn't my post - just an internet pic of something I have similar. Are you referring to the stripe lock? This is a VNT turbo. I tapped a hole in the exhaust manifold bull horn closest the bulkhead. Not...

    Replacing 300TDI turbo with VNT

    Proof it happened: Certainly a lot more performance at lower revs now. The boost is picking up quickly and settles at 0.9 bar at 65mph. I had a 1.2 transfer box put in by Ashcroft and I'll admit it was a little bit too much, she shifted much better today (I think the 1.3 ratio they do would...

    Head gasket

    You're looking in the right place. To quote another website :https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/24508-measuring-piston-protrusion/ You're likely to have the largest thickness I guess.

    Replacing 300TDI turbo with VNT

    It's alive!! A few things to sort on the way: Air filter housing was wobbling around and I found the rubber mounts had torn through on 3 of them - So removed the air filter and re-fitted with some bold stand-offs (a temporary fix for a couple of years). Also found that the air intake pipe into...
