Fixing this s**t show of an engine bay ππΌ Recap! π«£
-
What was happening in the engine way? ππ½
There has been a few things in this engine bay that have made me question why do people half ass things when it comes to cars?! π«£
For instance to give you a picture, the top mount intercooler when I bought it was just sitting on top of the rocker cover just being held on by the silicone piping.
So as you drove it would bounce around!
It also wasnβt sitting close or placed properly to seal to the bonnet scoop it had! π«
It also didnβt have a proper air filter setup which I quickly removed and replaced.
Then I had some gremlins which needing sorting one major component was the old turbo was pushing oil through the seals so I removed the exhaust manifold, gave that a makeover and bought a new 18G to replace it.
I then also had some fueling issues which turned out to be my fuel pump as it was blowing white smoke and sucking in air. So I chose to buy and upgrade to Built 11mm pump, and also went and redid my injectors while I was at it!
Once those were in, diesel pump also gave him a tune up and safely came out healthy and running 210hp!
