Re: 1.6d to 1y the definitive guide
It helps to have a reasonably good engine to start with, for all it's spilt oil and coolant flanges that it came with it was in good nick. Not bad for an engine bought blind!

Re: 1.6d to 1y the definitive guide
Definitely worth doing. Went up a small local hill that I used to struggle up in second in third, amazing. I gave the newer engine a good degrease as I hate working on a dirty engine with the chance of shyte dropping into something that I forgot to plug.
One wire is a spare that I used whilst trialling a timed solenoid operated cold start - it didn't work as well as I hoped it would so reverted to the cable method.

Re: 1.6d to 1y the definitive guide
Must say when I did mine I found that without the original "snorkel" that lives in the corner post it was very noisy BUT I think this gives a bit of restriction to the airflow ? Probably better without it but noisier ? Perhaps you have the answer O B G with the K N set up.

I'll come up and try Bishop's Hill soon. Should be third gear but will try it in 5th and 4th first.

Re: 1.6d to 1y the definitive guide
EGR exactly as the original on the engine as it came. I was in two minds as to whether to keep it or not as the inlet manifold was full of shyte, will see how it pans out - if it gets choked I will blank it off.weldore wrote:alreet pete
