THE SYNCRO JOURNEY!

Try and get the turbo and down pipe off together, when its all on the floor you might have a better chance

[Cooper]

Well ive go the turbo off as the down pipe nuts were buggered. So just a job to put it back together once the parts arrive.

[lloydy]

mine came off in 15 mins today

[Cooper]

Yeh mine looks like that.
Wasnt bad getting that off just getting the down pipe off the turbo was hard.

[Cooper]

So got my order an hour ago re-fitted turbo, fitted down pipe but i have noticed the scilencer wont fit.

I ordered the T3 Turbo Diesel [Late] but the brackets to fit the scilencer on are on the body and not on the ends.
So which scilencer do i need?

Also i bought this washer pump but where the electric pins are they are the wrong shape.

if the exhaust you are taking off looks like this http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shop?page=s ... ory_id=178" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; then you need the early exhaust, you will also need the early downpipe

Hi Cooper,

Have another look at the washer pump description -
"Budget washer pump.
Original equipment are a bit difficult to get reliably, this pump will require you to chop off the original terminal plug and replace with some female spade terminals.
We can supply these at extra charge if required.
Weight = 0.17 kg"

Not too sure on the silencer though

Bugger. Yeh it looks like that.

[lloydy]

oops then you need to send the downpipe and exhaust back and get the early set up

Brackets on the body? We need pics....if you put a pic of your exaust up when first asking about it someone would of piped up and said early or late....

[Cooper]

I cant up load photos with my phone.

[Cooper]

Oh no!!!

Just managed to leak approx 2ltrs of oil on the drive way. After re filling my oil as i drained it to get turbo off, i turned on the engine and a load of oil went all over the floor.
I forgot to screw on turbo oil feed pipe back to the turbo!!!

Waiting for the exhaust parts to be pick up by courier to take back to brickwerks.

Ive now fitted new air filter.


Ive booked the mot, (free until 10days after initial mot) but they said to drop it in friday morning and they will be done by the afternoon. But they might do the same thing as last time just let it sit cold then do the tests.

[axeman]

so why dont you book it in for a specific time so you can be there in person when they test your van?

Bung some diesel injector cleaner in the tank and give it a good thrashing, works for me every time

p.s. my tintop is an MV , no troublesome turbo !!
