  1. 70+ an hour where I work...Kia Main Dealer. Even employees half price labor rates still worse than that.
  2. As Jack said...I made the mistake of spending 45 mins fiddling trying to get it back in before the light build went off and I used a socket extender.
  3. Change the EGR pipe gaskets at each end as they didn't cost alot and the EGR has like a o-ring gasket which should be fine to reuse if you are careful. I didn't have a issue reusing.
  4. I didnt use a nozzle buddy, I just put the pipe over the bare "point" of the can and used pliers to push down. No problems.
  5. Yea was all over it this weekend. Seems there a bit of oil residue on the lower intercooler hose. But ill be replacing all the top hoses from EGR to I/C next weekend and go from there. Iv cable tied the crap out of it lol. Tho can hear the air rushing out from somewhere just cant pinpoint it sounds like its coming from the EGR area. So annoying.
  6. Just to add....I have done the this treatment to the letter...WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!! I had a issue with loss of power and lumpy driving (No Limp Issues). When accelerating and hitting boost the car would vibrate and judder through trh boost was really not a nice feeling or sound. Decided to clean the turbo with Mr Muscle......Issue has gonna tho i still get little judder oj boost tho no where near in comparison to beforehand and the car runs alot better and smoother with the boost delivery smoooooth and consistent. Tho I haven't got all the power back yet the main issue of its driving like a bag of **** is gone! Just the boost leak to sort now So thnak you OP! For £6 and your guide iv just saved a fortune!!
  7. And the winner is..... soul snatcher24 So at the weekend I done the "Mr Muscle" turbo treatment per thread on here, Worked a charm....the vibration has been resolved tho as SoulSnatcher says it hasnt gone completely but alot! and my boost delivery is much smoother and consistent. Tho all the power isn't back its still lacking it feel so think i do also have a boost leak ill be addressing next weekend now. Thanks for the replies all. You been great!! LeezoG
  8. Will cross that bridge when it come to it buddy lol. For now it's all speculation
  9. Alright bud well when iv got it all out and Im happy with it ill let you know mate??
  10. Thank you Vindaloo! Yea i assumed there would be a harness for the changer. Smart coded, iv had the head unit out a few times and back in and have to out my radio code in a each time. Aslong as someone else can use it with the code in there vehicle then ill sell it.
  11. Oh and also got Skoda symphony head unit i will be selling...Will this work in other vehicles as-long as the radio code is supplied?
  12. Afternoon All. Just a quick one, Does anyone or ha anyone removed the CD Multi-changer from under the N/S/F seat? I dont use it and never will so looking at removing and selling. Cheers all. LeezoG
  13. Even if there is a issue with the boost delivery? Would the mount cause this too?
  14. You could be that mate, Tho just sounds like its coming from the front of the car, SO could be anything lol, Think its a matter of process of elimination. I am down on power so the sticky veins is a possibility, Tho Im not getting limp mode no matter how hard I hit it. Just a vibration and groan from like 2k to 3k then the power comes :/ But still not all the power i should have have. Ita ****ing me off now to be honest. Could be a boost leak causing overboosting. But again no limp mode. Gonna fit my silicone hoses and clean turbo this weekend so will go from there. :(
