Ah yes forgot all about that, it was 1 of the 1st things I'd checked all good and clear, As for the boost, im assuming that my guage is accurate 🤷🏼‍♂️ (a newer type electruc stepper guage actually shows higher!) Also something else to mention my egts seem to be higher than that of my mates 300...

Cheers I'll have to give it a look, the pump has already been tweaked before I owned it some 13yrs back, could it be the boost pin that's potentially worn? It really is a head scratcher as although the compression results are lower than a factory figure they only equate to like at most 13% down...

Afternoon all, ive a bit of a problem with my old 96 300tdi, tried numerous things along the way but i still haven't quite got to the bottom of the sluggish power it's putting out. (Gotten worse over the last 2/3yrs) I started with the easiest cheapest stuff 1st of all, so far I've done the...

Can I stick my/our name down for this un if there is still room? Not been out in a while, wont be a full-dayer as the young un will be with us but be good to get out again for a few hours ;)

Carry on carlos!, it will be a good usable economical classic when its done, in my view fitting a 300 makes it much more usable and future proofed it more than keeping the gutless and uneconomical 6cyl! There will be other 6cyl safaris out there that will have been saved especialy now the...

Looking good luke ;)

Nice pics ian, doubt I'll be out again this weekend even if there is snow on the floor :( Shame to as I dont live at the bottom of a hill like when it snowed last time.......earned mi sen a few quid that night towing cars :D

Sorry i couldn't make it dave as I was working:( Such a shame its come to the dcc only being intersested in 1 particular user group, lets hope for the vilages sakes just having walkers as tourists in the petrol stations/pubs/shops is enough for the vilages to survive on because usualy they come...

Garage meet on the 8th mark/stace? :)

Cant manage anything now for a couple of month, landloard dropped a bombshell and told us he wants to sell up, gave us 2mnth to find elsewhere, :mad: annoyed is not the word!

Yeh the panhard bushes are ok tim, i do have polys to put in but theses are still ok for the mo Ive actually sorted it thanks paul, put it on fb an a few on there said it could be the uj on the column at the steering box, doused it with wd40 and worked it in and alls as it was lol :mad...

Well I got my cv and wheel bearings done, but ive still got a steereing issue so put a new steering pump on and still have a problem? Arrrgh!! Been advised to check the uj on the end of the column at the steering box?

You only want to do the steps going up to try out your nw winch! Pfffft! ;) Gutted I'll not be able to make it :( Hollinsclough used to me my nemesis the first time i did it i shattered the bearings on my swivel, which i think is the underlying cause of my cv failure. ............it was over...
