Blue smoke means the oil leak is pre-combustion chamber, a turbine side leak would result in white smoke. It could be a compressor side leak, take the turbo outlet hose off and check to see if there...

How are you measuring air flow? Intake valves blowing open would increase air flow and reduce boost so you can diagnose it if you have a MAF (but I can see you're not running a cold side one at...
A colleague has just had issues with his 330D not starting. It's throwing a fault code for the 'intelligent battery sensor' and it appears to be quite a common fault, so is worth a look.
Does it run badly before it does it cuts out, or does it just die suddenly? It has to be cutting the fuelling, so it could be a dodgy rail pressure sensor or something, but its strange that it would...
Reasonably dull
Slightly chavvier
Giggles :thumbs:
Right at the top end, my stage 1 14a was as quick if not quicker than my 260 mountuned focus ST, in no doubt due to the more 'practical' shape of the focus. At speeds up to 100 leptons it wasn't,...
Yes but they would still have to comply with their emissions legislation.
It's not currently illegal to run an aftermarket ECU, but if emissions are legislated over the vehicle lifetime (what this...
Testing the presence of a DPF would be relatively easy even without expensive emissions equipment - the difference in smoke level is visible to the naked eye in transients. GPFs would be much, much...
As above, it's not easy. Apologies for the essay below, blame Si :p
First thing to consider is if you should actually be using the wastegate at peak power. Most production cars do, but for boring...
The evoque is a transverse platform, whereas the new architecture is in-line. So new architecture because big skids.
Plus everything Zep said. The evoque platform is over a decade old, and is a...
Wrong end of the country on the 14th :( By no means wait for me though.
Can't do the 31st either :( Could it wait a week?
In this case I would argue the SXOC way is potentially doing more damage to your turbo, and you may end up needing to replace the whole unit to get it to work properly. So long as you don't damage...
I actually joined the STOC for a year to find out a few things. It does actually have some pretty good information on there, but yes there are some pretty special folk over there.
On the subject...
I think your "metres per hour" gauge is going to be a little ways out :P
Would look heaps better with a much thinner pinstripe affair, but as Dan says its going to be difficult to get it right :(...
It would be worth checking to make sure they are compatible with fuel - IIRC some industrial hoses aren't :no:

159 is better looking, especially in TI form, but it isn't a proper Alfa V6. Just make sure you have the same amount of money...
In fairness we did get most of it done in one day... :P
Best thing to do is make sure you can take your time. If you're relying on it for daily transport, don't try and do it in one day! You will...
Chances are you will probably have damaged the crank too - I'd be surprised if you got away with one and not the other :(
It'd be worth checking the connectors to both if you haven't - could just be water ingress and corrosion from what you've described (taking it off to fit a new sensor may have been enough to sort it...
That sweeping generalisation is, unfortunately, nonsense. Exhaust gas temperatures are a function of many things, but in general if you run higher cylinder pressures (from more boost) then your...
But the exhaust gas temperature is still significantly lower than a petrol engine, even when running high boost levels ;)
It depends how long you want them to last really, and also the condition...
Lambda is high (indicating lean), but the CO and HC are high too (indicating rich). Try changing the lambda sensor (could try making sure it has a good earth first). If the AFM was dodgy you would...
:wave:
I ended up renting a place in Balsall common as I couldn't stomach living in Coventry - Finham/Cheylesmore/Stivichall seem to be the nicest parts of the city though.
In general the...
I haven't done it yet, but I hear of the Land Rover experiences Eastnor Castle is the one to go for. Also there is a facebook group where they discount events at short notice;...
