Solenoid Valve?

Post by Mastiff »

I think I have spelt it correctly??!!

Where is the solenoid valve situated on my D9 110 HDI?

Thanks in advance for any help as need to check this so I have been told as my car does not come on full boost till 3,000rpm?

Hi,
the solenoids are on the Bulk head,
ithink its the end one for turbo middle is Egr iirc, but some 110s have only 2 solenoids , so im not 100% which one it is for turbo but im sure middle one is Egr so its gotta be one of the end ones ithink,
hopefully someone will confirm,

Have a read of this thread,

Thanks for the link mate :)

This was interesting to read from that link...... The MAP sensor is on position 14 in the drawing send by Dogslife. It is measuring the airflow going into the engine and the amount of injected diesel fuel can be corrected by this measurement. These senors have a limited lifetime

I have unplugged my MAF before and it has not made any difference to how she runs.....Surely unplugging the MAF would have some kind of unwanted effect?

Lozz.....What have I done?!!!

Me being me went straight out armed with my tool kit! I cleaned the MAF with electrical cleaner and the sensor that sits on top of the intercooler.....So all nice and clean! Then I thought I would do what I have done to my petrol cars in the past and drill a few 8mm holes in the lower part of the front airbox housing as found this a free and quick mod and lets maybe 1 or 2 horses loose as more air is coming in. I then started my car.....all is fine except some little orange light on the bottom of the dash is staying illuminated.....What is this mate and what have I done :oops:
