Did some work on my wheels over the weekend 👍
Had intended to get going with my Autoglym Polar pre-wash, wash & seal using my new pressure washer (complete with snow foam lance 😁) but the queue's outside Halfords on Friday (to get the Polar products) dictated otherwise 😠 So I did a 'normal'...
An update on this:
The oil leak is NOT where I indicated in my pictures at the beginning of this thread. The leak is actually on the input oil feed line (at the banjo fitting) under the mini heat shield at the top of the photo. It's the same place everyone gets this leak, the oil was just...
If I am not mistaken if you have a JBL setup there will be a JBL badge on the speakers.
Mine does not unfortunately :( but I'm happy with the volume levels & quality I get from the stock speakers :)
Ok, in speaking to the supplier I have finally determined this is indeed the correct part. Part ordered :)👍
I will make a complete 'How To' step by step guide when I attempt this repair and upload to the forum... hopefully helping anybody else needing to do this repair which appears to be a...
The high pressure fuel pump is in the engine bay, the low pressure fuel pump is in the fuel tank. There are 2 fuel pumps.
Your problem is the high pressure fuel pump which is located right side of the engine towards the bulkhead (back) 👍
Noticed my cabin doesn't get particularly hot even with the aircon set to Max & on full blast. Tried a few different blower positions but nothing blows out the kind of hot air I'm used to :)
Not currently a problem with this weather and I've read up and seen many have replaced the heater...
This sounds like a faulty coolant/thermostat sensor. This is located on the thermostat housing and is an easy fix with the replacement part not expensive 👍
After having another look at the listings I see now the second pipe you listed has one elbow & one straight through connection whereas the first listing has two elbow connections so they are different 🙁 I'll check with the eBay seller. Knowing my luck it's the more expensive one I'll need 😤
That part looks the same except it has some of the fittings already installed just leaving the banjo's to connect up.. I'm happy with the other listing you posted as it correctly specifies my engine type. Having said that I will check my reg/VIN with he eBay seller 👍
I'll post a thread...
Just had another look and the eBay listing states it's for an EP6CDT engine, which is my engine, so looks like this is the part alright 😁
eBay can be very hit & miss often incorrectly tagging correct parts for my RCZ 😤
Silicon spray is an excellent lubricant, especially on rubber. If you smoother one bushing or suspension part or shock mount at a time you'll quickly find out which one is giving the problem and you can look to sort it out or replace 👍 Go forth Clouseau 😂 😂
Cheers for the reply Pedro. Suspected it might be a replacement pipe rather than a simple tightening of a bolt/nut 🙁 Any idea of the part number I should be looking to order? With servicebox no longer available to me it's a bugger trying to source part numbers for 'non-standard' parts 😬 Also...
39.3 MPG from my first full tank of petrol 😁 Fair bit of motorway driving but some mixed and short drives from cold too... I assume that's OK for the THP 156? 👍
Noticed a small oil leak around one of the Turbo pipes earlier.. 1.6 THP (156)
Above is the location of the pipe & weepy leak.
Close up of the pipe, fitting and the leak.
It's not dripping any oil just a small weepy leak at this point.
Any ideas or suggestions? 👍
