A L 3 X

Not going for the Td deal? I suppose its a way to travel for you?

Yeah I'm a service tech mate Yeah depending who installs it I've seen some people fitted the wrong ones if they've run out, think it comes up on a report if you do though lol. Yeah 500 is plenty for the money

Like I say it's not so much on idle, just if I leave the car to idle when warm then blip the throttle quite harsh but not boot it? Still sound like turbo? A mate followed me but I didn't really boot it, he was just checking for when I set off from traffic lights, which he said he didn't see anything, must not of been idling long enough

Haha it's too sick, pops like mad now it's mapped as well

Yeah let's hope so, can't see it being anything else except the stem seals but just had those done :/

No smoke on boost that I've seen mate, but neither did my ct9 that was smoking, that just used to burn it out when idling lol

If I leave my car to idle when it's warm, then go back to it and get someone to give the throttle a blip, I get the smallest amount if blue smoke for a split second....what could this be? Bearing in mind I've just had the head gasket replaced and the head rebuilt with new tuning developments stem seals, and compression is all good Does it sound like an issue with the td04 given the symptoms?

Aye maybe ill pm him?

I think the plastic bits I've got are 13x6.5 mate :/ ideally just a sheet of the stuff I need

Obviously you've got the thick clear plastic, the letters and then the vinyl reflective sheet that's yellow/white, anyone know we're I can get some of this please?

I'm not 100% sure mate may have changed recently as I've only got 2 people on mates rates about a year ago and had to fit 500's :/ I wish I'd thought of putting a thread up like this given the offer that's on to us haha ;)

I'm pretty sure it's a 500gb TiVo on mates rates mate, 1tb is staff account? Unless they've changed it since I've signed anyone up?

It took some doing lol, a good 3 evenings worth I'd say lol

Got a jperformance short route one mate? Or also, I have a custom RW developments one which makes it and extremely short route If you don't mind rotating your turbo, definately worth doing.

Got any seals on it? If not open it up and take pics... Not heard if a trd one though :/

Just had mine mapped by Td, specifically asked for it to pop, he said he would try encourage it.....it pops

Should be possible if its a similar design mate, just don't go to powerflow lol

Block tester has confirmed combustion is leaking into the coolant, Time to take it apart

My jam fuelled a td04 better than ct9, was unsure of the timing side of things however

Very true nick, but that was the old one, what's the chances Of a new one being faulty too, I think I'd be trying to convince myself it ain't the hg if I believed that?

Faisal, do you have two white ep82's and a caldina,ep's pretty tuned looking? And live near undercliffe, or west bowling?(not too clued up on bfd lol) if so I've seen your cars about when at work

I don't want to without knowing first though? :/ Can't be stat though surely? 2 of em that look to be working when tested, one brand new...can't be faulty?

It can't be mate pretty sure of it, I've tried two now and the one I took out was working fine with the kettle test, the other is brand new. Taking it out will definately let it run warm because its like a big gaping hole as opposed to the stat only being a small hole even when open. I'm wondering if the hg is going, causing boost to pressurise the cooling system and force the stat closed? Hence why on idle its fine, but as soon as I drive it goes cold

Search ebay for block tester mate, if not ill link you when I'm on a pc? Right the block tester has still not arrived, can anyone give me an opinion as I'm wanting to strip it down tomorrow if it needs a hg. Basically my symptoms are: -Pressurised and emptied the overflow tank once on a long drive to deans. -after driving the car it seems to make both rad pipes go pretty solid -sometimes if I give it a boost and then pop the lid off the expansion tank but leave the tube in it will make small bubbles. -if I leave the car to idle the bottom hose will get hot as though the stat is opening as it should...if however I pull up and chem after driving the top hose is still hot but the bottom hose is flat cold, like the thermo isn't opening but I've replaced it and checked the old one which works fine in boiling water. -sometimes the temp gauge in the car will drop in temperature when driving(coinciding with the cold bottom hose) - I've replaced the thermostat, rad cap, and flushed the system and rad and refilled and rebled it all...
