Confirming I will be attending.
Thought there would have been more interest from locals.
Just got a stripped water pump bolt to sort out, should be fixed this weekend.
I'll book in for a pump tickle ,rejig boost hoses and a rocker adjustment.
Cheers,
Tony
At this stage, Im tooled up for 1/4 and 3/8th BSPT fittings, if the adaptors you'll need for the work are other than that I'll need to know early so I can get the appropriate taps or arrange for the appropriate fittings.
At this stage its still on for the 27th and I'll post up more info on saturday/sunday.
Hey Dave,
With the boost gauge (1/8 air pressure line) I've used an M12 to 1/8th bsp adapter from the back of the plenum(?) .
I will need to make this a 3 way connection ?
What size is the original hose ?
I should be able to source fittings next week, unless you have another plan on the plumbing.
cheers,
Tony
My prefered plumbing goes
back of the intake manifold to the wastegate actuator and the boost gauge
the spigot on the turbo to the boost compensator.
Dave - just a pre warning. I have an eccentric ex RFD doc staying with me that weekend. Good news is that he has owned 4 RR V8's, ...named fuel pig 1 through 4... true LR nutjob he is too, so he - and I - shall turn up 'round lunch time, with Pizza and beer, to share the TDI love (and the pizza and beer). :D
I consider myself warned and shall revise my stance on leashing the dog on the quality of the pizza and temperature of the beer.
Yeah, fair call - that's why I didn't give you the bad news! :DQuote:

I'm not sure what I'm looking at.
The plumbing should be all standard with the only addition is the 1/8 pressure line for boost gauge.
Nahh I guessed that already, your going to turn up in the ford because (and Im basing this on the time it takes to change a waterpump) you still havent gotten matilda back together. I fear I shall be long in the grave before she runs again.
:)
Ha Ha!!! :D Harsh, harsh. Can't refit an engine that is still with the machinist....but if your latter comment is true, don't despair - I'll pop by the cemetery in the old girl with a bunch of flowers!Quote:
