All done!!!


Dont have a clue how much power its running now though, someone with more knowledge than me is going to have a play with it on monday, but ive done as much tuning to it as my knowledge will allow

Old stuff.



New stuff. (including bleed valve on the turbo wastegait)

I see you've now joined the vegetableoildiesel forum,
You'll get all the info you need for running chip oil on that site.
My user name on there is "mark" BTW,
there's a few of us that are on both forums.

that i have have been reading into a bit so will see...

just filled up again at my local morrisons so thought i would fill it with E30 this time haha, see what happens.


is no cheaper than normal diesel though even though its 30% rapeseed oil

[steve_earwig]

Ah but you're doing your bit for the environment



Good grief

[tenwierdufos]

have two issues ive noticed with this conversion im afraid

first one i think you might have allready heard of, which is that as soon as you go over 3000rpm the rev counter cuts out and wont turn on again till you run the car again

and the other is a bit more annoying / serious

the cooling fans on the front of the radiator which used to be used quite alot, dont turn on in any relation to the temperature of the coolent anymore, sometimes they will come on at random just after the car has been started, but then go off for the whole journey.

Overheating is becoming a problem in traffic with no cooling fans! Had to resort to putting the heater on full blast today when i got stuck in traffic and the temperature had crept up to 100 :S

[mark21TD]

I've had no problems with my cooling fans but the rev counter is the same as your's.
You may have desturbed some of the wiering when doing the swap.
The two sensers in front of the fuel filter are the ones that controle the fans, there's also a relay behind the front grill.
Try puting the AC on (if you have it) when in traffic, it should bring on the cooling fans and give you some time to find the problem.

thanks,

love the executive spec

if you still have a prob with the cooling fans you can get a fan switch that you put in the top rad hose from demon tweeks and i think it has 2 or 3 temp settings aswell
