300tdi intercooler or turbo ??

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
Burns oil when starting up, you know there's some in there.  The fuel will not burn very efficiently untill there is a hot-spot in the cylinder to ignite it, there will also be unburnt fuel int he cylinder form cranking and yes a bit od oil seeping past the guides.

If it clears within a minute then don't panic.

Witht he turbo pipes off, clean them all out and clean the turbo out too (I filled it with WD40 and used a toothbrush).  Clean out the engine breather that feeds oil vapour intot he airstream just ahead of the turbo.

Run it for a while then check the pipes for signs of oil contaminiation.  If the turbo inlet and vanes are messed up then the engine is breathing heavily and may need a new oil seperator or the breather rerouting (I fitted a catch tank).  If there is signs of oil downstreamof the tubo then possibly it is leaking oil and needs changing before it leads to a runaway engine.

I've had intercooler off cleaned out wid petrol and took all the pipes off cleaned them . Car feels a little bit better but i still don't seems to be feeling a boost ??? That give any1 anymore ideas?

wizard:
Connect a boost gauge to the T piece on the turbo and take it for a spin up a longish hill, that will give us an idea of what boost presure you have.

I have a boost guage you could borrow for the cost of postage and return.

wizard :twisted:

doda456:
This may seem a bit obvious,  but with the engine at idle,   remove the top intercooler hose,  place hand over intercooler outlet and check that air is coming out, 

Also check that airflow increases when you rev the engine,

Range Rover Blues:
Yeap, fit a boost guage and measure the boost.  I bought a permenant one for about
