Here is some info on idle

I'm all new to these kind of readings. Do they make much sense or show a problem?

I've also noticed that my coolant is going down and also the oil too. Leaking through the turbo?

[vee8essie]

I cant help you I,m afraid why don't you ask a tech on this forum surely the water will go down as the thermostat opens

[kentphil1]

How fast are you losing oil, and how much are you topping up?.

 

Has the cooling system been bled of airlocks to be sure you are actually losing coolant rather than expelling air?, again how much are you putting in to top up the coolant?.

 

Also, can somebody do a capture on that app as a passenger whilst you are driving at 2-3000 rpm so we can see what goes on then?

Hi mate sorry to jump in but dont suppose turbo and wastegate is still available?

Been struggling with boost and have already thrown away nearly £300 trying to solve the issues.

It's been a long time of getting things off and back on again.

Struggled with studs from the turbo to manifold and also getting the mounting plate off of the turbo.

I managed to get all back together and started filling with coolant. It filled a bit, and then a bit more, and then more and more, until I realised it was ****ing out the bottom of the engine bay.

Today I've managed to get it all back apart again! Taken out the intercooler pipe and egr system. Pulled out the manifold again! Screws are a nightmare to get to. And it's leaking off the top of the turbo coolant banjo bolt!

Any ideas which way the spacers go round. I guessed that the large space goes below the pipe, but there's a small spacer/washer on there as well.

I had it with washer at the top, then coolant pipe, then spacer. Is this correct?

Maybe I didn't town it up enough.

[Jimbling]

I put a copper washer underneath the spacer as well and you have to tighten the bolt down quite tight as the washer have to crush almost

[blueriver]

Thanks jimbling. Managed to get a couple from my friendly garage across the road.

Now I'm confused as to which way round these two go in the turbo inlet pipe

It's this right or does it not matter?

[Leeboy]

Nightmare buddy. Think you've got the DV and non return valve correct as your pipes appear to fit correctly. Although as the both attach to the TIP don't think it matters which sits where. Good luck!

I'll be starting up tomorrow. Fingers crossed it's all ok after manhandling half of the engine bay!

Thanks Leeboy. Don't think the non return valve stretches to the far hole anyway.

I'll leave it to idle for a while before doing anything. Make sure the oil etc is circulating properly.

I'd recommend that you crank it over on the starter without it firing so that oil pressure builds fully including through the oil feed to the turbo. Best way to do this without fuelling the engine is to disconnect the connectors for each injector along the fuel rail. Then crank away until oil light on dash goes out and then some more for good measure. Thereafter reconnect the injectors and take it for a spin! Edited 24 October, 2015 by Leeboy

[blueriver]

Just thought I'd pellet people know where I am with this.

Now got a 9 day old baby, so on the back burner now...

Did manage to get it started, sounded like it was blowing somewhere. Was deep airy sound. Haven't had it started since.
