cheers simon. ps - MB = Mercedes Benz!! i dont do bikes either ;) :D

hi Simon. interesting reading! im in the trade & run a MB workshop (for my sins! :D) we have been told we have to upgrade from Mobil Super S (10W40) to Mobil Synt S (5W40 i believe) which is a grade higher than the Super S. any info on this oil?? i have always used Super S & have always been happy with it. we also use Mobil 1 - how do you rate that?? cheerz Paul

yeah, you'll be fine on a cat back exhaust

its not so much wear them out. the rear turbo oil seal is more of a "dynamic" seal (cant have rubber seals in the back of a turbo ;)) that rely's on a certain amount of back pressure to stop the oil from seeping past. with stock tubs, after decatting there may not be enough back pressure on already worn turbos to prevent this from happening

Opie oils ARE in our club affiliated links section though. i shall pass this over to Macca to decide whats acceptable for someone in this section

went last year, damn good day(s) out!! :D

LOL!! its gonna need a wide arch front conversion now! :rofl:

got me my job :confused: :D

LOL!! i think some of it is down to black art!! :D trouble is, sometimes what looks good on paper wont perform in the real world. its down to people that actually buy the turbos, fit other aftermarket parts & test them to find out what works best.

yay!! :hyper: :dance: :hyper: :dance:

so whens the happy day????

the 99 spec fogs are the same as import pre 99 front fogs IIRC, its only UK cars that dont have the foglamps that need them you will still need the indicators tho :)

I would have thought each turbo's A/R map would be more of a limit than the bearings!

well, apart from one!! :D :x:

LOL!! i actually like the yanks! :x: for all their gob, there actually nice people IMO!! very friendly, family orientated & know how to deliver good customer service in my experience :)

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :shock: :D

ive got the grubbiest engine bay!! (apparently) wont find no "bling" under there!! (WTF is bling????? :confused: ) nothing gets cleaned, polished or otherwise touched unless im repairing it or making it go quicker!! ;) :D

Courtesy are doing JWT filters for $109!! ;)

1 - also could be HICAS link arms 2 - try cleaning the engine temp sensor & connectors, chech for corrosion at the back of the terminals. you can get a new sensor & loom from Courtesy

you could try an engine flush - get it nice & hot with that in, drop it out & refil with oil

it comes on dependant on coolant temp, vehicle speed & whether the A/C is on or not. the fan has 2 speeds, hi & low, controlled by the fan relay & sub relay. look here for more info HTH :)

mate it to RLTC & its a big fun indicator for wet weather!! :D :cool:

the ones i got from courtesy were the same as my UK car??

lol, maybe you have the wrong pitch on your new bolts! hold together the old bolt & the new - see if the threads fit together
