Thanks I will try that out next time im free at the garage

Hey guys id like to clean the intercooler on my diesel SUV , its been on the car for 5 years and did about 50k kms only but it lived through a bad turbo that was throwing oil .. Ive recently been getting black smoke at high Rpm .. already replaced the air filter and the Turbo but i still have...

Catalyst is removed on my car , just silencers ... im not sure it even has O2 sensors since its a EURO 3 spec .. Based on the knock sensor readings the bad cylinders should be at the rear of the engine .. either 4th or 5th .. sadly no one seems to have the tools to measure compression on a...

Hey guys it's been a while , My question is this . Is there any way an Engine head can cause black smoke ?? The car is a 2005 Ssangyong Rexton 270Xdi diesel , common rail no DPF and the EGR system has been disabled and blocked .. The issue started after fitting a used engine head , ever...

My bad .. i thought he meant the wrapping not the turbo itself ... makes much more sense now xD .. ill look around see if anyone in my region does that ceramic coating .. ill have to reconsider everything ive been told it seems , ill dig deeper and see what i can find thanks alot i really...

oh thats alot cheaper than i expected , why did your one cost that much though ? or prices were crazy 5 years ago ? so lets say i wrapped the turbo .. its still just 1 item that generating crazy heat , theres the Downpipe and the exhaust manifold .. i know i can wrap the downpipe with wraps...

Brother TC , unfortunately i dont have a garage or such to shelter my car from Rain when its parked and it seems too troublesome to cover the car and uncover it daily in the rainy season .. also wouldnt stopping at stop lights or traffic jams count as parking ? i understand its not that big of...

thanks for the reply by raising the rear of the bonnet you mean to simple use some nuts and longer screws to have the rear end of the bonnet rise a few centimeters off the fenders and create a gap that would allow the air to escape ..... if thats correct then im afraid this isnt an option...

so since my car is a diesel and a remapped one with other mods on it , the temps in the engine bay tend to peak and one can barely touch anything in the engine bay after a few heavy runs , needless to say things get much worse while offroading and pushing the engine to its limits . i have...

so my cars engine has now done 260000 and its no longer young eventhough thats still young for this engine which can easily last over 500000 .. anyway some people brought up Engine treatment , mainly Tufoil engine Treatment .. now im no expert on the matter , i know that the Fuel additives work...

start by simple inspections , take a closer look at the coolant see if it has oil in it , look into the engine from where you fill oil , does it look like theres white matter in there ? .. im not familiar with your car but if theres a air/oil separator somewhere it could be jammed or in need of...

Good point , sadly i wont know until i get the part , theres no doubt that it will be getting less air that the Cone can , but the cone has no limits until you put a heatshield on it , the cold air intake is pretty much a cone filter inside a carbon housing with a 3inch pipe that connects it to...

yes without the remap not only will there be a drop in performance but it can also trigger a check engine light and cause the car to go limp

Regarding the cone filter , there really was no change on the performance for my car , But i should mention that it has no heat shield and sucks hot air from the engine bay , however an issue i had with both stock filter and K&N drop in filter is that once you really stress the engine you can...

The Egr is Deleted both through the ECU and physically blocked from the EGR valve side and the Exhaust manifold side .. the Mods on the car are mainly a slightly bigger Intercooler made entirely of aluminum , bigger aluminum intercooler pipes , Bigger downpipe , Open pod filter and an aluminum...
