@nickboylen6873 Жыл бұрын
Spread to mechanics or owners who fitted VNT turbos to Tdis and there are very high numbers who regret it. The vanes tend to seize and then strangle the exhaust. A lot of those owners subsequently return to standard turbos. I have no idea what proportion of VNT owners have this happen (it could be a minority), but I have read numerous cases on forums and seen several mentions of it on KZbin. I thought it was tempting until I saw this widespread issue. I think the electronically controlled VNTs have reduced susceptibility because they get exercised by the ECU in a cleaning sweep, like the Puma’s EGR valve. Who did the filming? Focusing on the face while the mechanic is attempting to show where to cut the rubber hose or exhaust and several other bits, filming the wing top when the assembly is being fitted to the head and numerous other lapses. It’s meant to be a technical instruction, not an evening chat show.

Howzit bro ,the way you controlling that turbo is totally wrong and extremely bad for the engine especially on vnt ,what you need is a manual vnt/vgt boost controller from Go Fast Bits .im running on my 98 freelander 1 and works like a dream ,it works of vacuum and it basically replaces you factory solenoid for the car .You'll thank me later !

Mikeaubert, I would aggree with you, plus I was always taught when working on engines was to grease all threads and gaskets with either copper slip or moly slip. Obviously training of apprentices is to the highest standards of yesteryear.

@@adamfelkey8451 We haven't done many miles on the AlliSport kit, so can't really comment on that. As far as I remember, the AlliSport one is a straight turbo replacement, so it is better if you have to retain EGR and catalytic converter for emissions rules. I have found that the engine does run cleaner (based on MoT emissions results) with the new turbo.

Just buy a 25 year old LANDCRUISER 4.2 TD It will do 25 mpg, up & down a hill , towing 3 tonnes or just cruising. Also runs great on Bio Diesel no ajustment needed.£1 per litre. Driving in luxury, not a tractor. Past 8 years of ownership & 200k on the clock, dream to own. Need to stop bragging now. Enjoy life...

To be fair, the 300Tdi isn't bad, tows 3 tons downhill easily (you just go slower in the ups!) and will run on biodiesel and straight vegetable oil without adjustment, and does about the same mpg with a trailer on the back. But in no way is a classic Defender luxurious!
