after very gentle cotton bud and pure acetone, (not nail varnish remover as it has added stuff to condition nails and will contaminate the wires as they get hot) you can use alcohol as in tape head cleaner

now the good bit, although the big ends were worn this did not explain the performance loss compared to what it did perform like, I suspected the EGR so drilled a hole in the top (you can see it to the right of the vac pipe connection) and used a punch to drive the valve closed, vac disconnected so thought that should sort it, well now it is out found I can blow down this pipe so it is not seating

Quality thread. I love reading stuff like this. Makes me want to run outside and tear mine apart!
One question though. Is there not an EGR blanking kit available or make your own like other diesel engined stuff out there? (i.e. discos. spitspit) Keep the posts coming. Love the photos. |
