Yea it drives fine with no smoke, but it doesn’t drive any different than with the old MAF.

My initial plan was to just swap the MAF but the screws were damaged and none of my security torx would fit but they did fit the new one so I ended swapping the housing as well. It was a tight fit into the air box, tighter than the one I removed, even if it was loose I don’t see how that would...

2004, FL1, TD4, Facelift. Today I fitted a new MAF (and housing), on the test drive I noticed a whistle/whoosing sound when taking my foot off the throttle, then I noticed it on heavy load and again when I took my foot off. I've checked all the pipes for splits and loose clamps etc and they seem...

Can a Pierburg MAF be fitted without a Ronbox? My TD4 has had a remap but still running the OEM MAF which I'm about to replace, if I can fit a Pierburg MAF then I'll deffo go down that route.

Er, ok sometimes they just stop working, sometimes they wear out without any symptoms until they then just stop working.

Injectors don’t just stop working, their performance depreciates over time as they wear slowly, they might seem ok but only be 70% effective and I want this engine running at its best. I’ve already upgraded the Intercooler and had a remap, seems daft to do this work and not check the injectors...

I took them out to get them tested, I want to know if they are ok or on their way out, proactive maintenance. The engine is a bit noisy so could be diesel knock and I want it running at it's best, just because it's running doesn't mean it can't run better and smoother. "the question is not if...

I had taken them out hence the attached report, the are now back in the car. The guy that tested them said the recon kits are no longer available.

Thanks but I'm struggling to find recon kits.

Hi I took my injectors to a local tester, attached are the results. The report shows (last page) they are all under fuelling and the leak back is high (so I'm told), so I'm now thinking about replacing them but it's not a cheap job. The car runs fine but I wonder if a new set of injectors will...

Good idea, there is one on ebay but not sure about how it fits into the FL as it looks to be held in place by a single screw and I doubt that'll be compat with the FL.

FL1, 2004, TD4. Recently I have noticed a lack of torque, it struggled with steep hills and slow pulling away, motorway speeds were fine, no smoke or ECU lights. I had a look around the engine bay for anything obvious, I removed the injector cover so I could check the turbo vacuum pipe,when I...

is there a drain hole in the bottom of the door to let the water out?

Thanks. I think I'll end up tapping into the rear passenger power supply (between the front seats) and running that into the rear corner somehow.

Thanks, that looks good but can't find one anywhere.

Hi I'd like to add a 12v power socket in the rear of my FL1 (5 door), does anyone know it there's already a suitable power supply or should I run one from the center console? I've looked at various LR wiring diagrams but nothing obvious stands out. Thanks

Finally got around to fitting it, the car needed a few mods to get it done: > Expand the lower side mount holes from 5mm to 10mm for the mount pins. > Trim back a small piece on the N/S rad mount so the IC pipe didn't push against it. > Trim back plastic in the front grill so it would clear to...

Hi I've just got a 2nd hand Allisport Intercooler, I can't find any fitting instructions. Either side is a mount bracket with an alloy peg, it looks like this peg should go into the small hole but the peg is too big, I can drill it out but want to check that's what has to be done. Also, I can't...

This should work...

thanks. How do I find the AH of the box? the manual only states 46 watts and 3.8A. Do I multiply 3.8 x 60 = 228AH? So I for 2 hours I wuld need a 456AH battery? (seems very high) So a battery rated at 2Ah (25Wh) would be useless?? This website states I need a 3.83AH battery (I'm rubbish at...
