Diesel from a drum.....?

[Andrewcupra TDI]

thanks viking

i was told VW revised the items , but thought perhaps something better out there

have emailed seremotors , will see , as il start to gather prices up etc

is there other things worth considering replacing or is glynnd's list all thats needed

the garage has said to fit a new timing belt kit the same time even tho it was done 9k ago

cheers

 

[Viking]

I'd fit a new belt, but the tensioner and related kit should be okay if it was replaced last time.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

yep all done waterpump too

 

[MarkWales]

just do the belt then andrew

 

[brad1]

Any more updates on this?

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

well gathering some prices up,

carnt see it being the cam tho can it , it runs fine , just the starting back up when hot thats the problem,

do have a bluish white smoke on first start up which clears and no smoke at all when driving not like before, used to leave puffs of black when booting it a bit

runs better because we reset the basic injector settings. will run ok for a short while but the cam and tappets are very worn, as are some of the followers and will end up causing more damage if left as it is. the lobes on some are so worn they are flaired

[MarkWales]

you going for it then andrew

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

hmm dun know now , been offered working engine , mite get that looked at for the cam wear , if its good could swap heads or even engine , what evers easier ,

where were u last nite ??

 

[MarkWales]

in bed not well - still in bed not well mate

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

man flu ?

 

[MarkWales]

yep

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

gutting that engine is the golf pd 130

any ideas whats the difference ??

would the airbox be the same too

cheers

 

[Viking]

Basic engine is the same for the 130 and the 150. Only difference would be turbo, intercooler, ecu, injectors (I think), and that's about it.

 

[MarkWales]

would the head and cam setup be the same ?

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

if not mite as well bite the bullet

 

[Viking]

would the head and cam setup be the same ?

Exactly the same mate. As far as I know all the part numbers are the same and there's no difference at all.

Andrew, have you changed any o-rings on the injection components?

Heat = expansion

Dodgy fuel which is contaminated = not comaptible with o-rings?

Something maybe expanding slightly when hot, and a o-ring may be out of tolerance, the ECU may not be seeing the right pressure somewhere which is causing a no start.

Do our cars have a injection pressure regulator?
