Plenum is back on and it started first time and ticks over perfectly !

 

So basically, one of the injectors was blocked and it turns out that two of the others were in a right state too, so all have been cleaned, all the connectors for the injectors, AAC etc etc have been replaced, the throttle bodies bypassed, the EGR bypassed and other stuff I've probably forgotten.

 

Anyway, MASSIVE thanks to KrysMayo who came over to give me a hand this afternoon and stayed for about 6 hours - we were so busy he didn't even get a cup of tea !

I can't believe it started, yeah where was my cuppa ?

Andy whats involved in bypassing the egr, are there any write ups about it as my plenum is off just now and was wondering what its all about.

 

Cheers John Crisp

don't forget the plumbing fittings lol

Nice one Andy, are you bringing it up here next week?

You can get a full blanking kit but I reckon it's impossible to do the job properly unless the engine is out. I blanked off the holes in the bottom of the plenum, took and angle grinder to the two pipes around the side of the plenum and put plumbing blanking fittings on them (dunno what they're called). The vacuum pipes were blanked off and the solenoid junked. Much easier than trying to bolt the stupid pipes to the underneath of the plenum in-situ.
