anyone know if i ccan take the air dozer off my hdi 90, i bought an inlet elbow from farmer p thinking mine didnt have a air dozer on it but it does so i now need to know can i do away with it at all.

I don't think it's got any electrical connections on it so perhaps you could just plug the pipe from the vacuum solenoid

will that thorw up a e/m light though??

i dont have any idea what the dozer does

Over to Welly (something to do with emissions?)

Well it is only the low road tax HDi's that have a dozer but I'm not fully sure how it works.

It chokes the inlet manifold, I was told once that it snaps-shut when you kill the ignition which makes the engine stop without that big compression shock but maybe it can partially close on tick-over? I really don't know maybe it closes a bit forcing greater EGR recirculation?

well that bloddy thing's getting blanked off any way, just neet to know if the dozer can be removed with out the ecu getting stroppy. been looking at this today viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11582

right then i been looking on one of the 306 clubs and it seem as ling as i blank the electro valve pipe it can be removed, i think i'll do a guide while im fitting all this

jamjar has your stuff arrived yet from farmer ?

When the dozer on mine partially fell apart the car wouldn't
start !! be intresting to see if it runs when pipe blocked off

he is probably still at the post office having a quick chat with the bird at the counter


This is by no means a slur on FarmerP's honesty, purely a jibe at his loquaciousness
