Re: Decarbonising a diesel engine motor

Behing your egr pipe is the pipe that connects to it with a 90" degree bend that goes across the car at the back of the engine. Behind this pipe is a small black vacuum pipe. You could have easily knocked that out when cleaning the egr

Re: Plenum drains blocked - a helpfull guide.

Plenum drains done and still wet. So parked my car nose down on my drive and its still wet. If i park it side ways and drivers side is up drivers side will get wet and if i park it passenger side facing up then passenger side gets wet. What could it be :/

Aircon removal

So tomorrow the aircon pump is coming off as my second alternator is going there now to replace it. So i wanted to know what else needs removing so i can remove not just the aircon pump but the full aircon setup.
Thanks
