Thanks. I'll look into it.

Agreed. I had found a much quicker way after filming the video luckily.

I had bought a laptop with some Ista software on it and i could tell by the readings. Also the car had little power on acceleration and the dpf light stayed on. You can change the turbo without removing the engine but you will need to slide it forwards. You also need to get right underneath the car to remove the 3 bolts holding it in. Lastly, you will need to change the turbo to dpf gasket with an original one to ensure that it doesn't leak.

@Restospares ty ours hasn't lost power & no lights on dash, its just very smelliy in the cab and at the end of the exhaust.

​@@LandylalaIf it smells inside the cab then you most likely have a leak. You would be best to carry out a leak test.

I doubt it's the pcv as it would most likely run rough. It's worth checking the dpf to turbo gasket. This needs to be original. It's hard to pinpoint it without a leak detector. You can make one easily with a jar and a small compressor.

Thanks

Thank you

I'm just thinking. If you don't lacquer it, the paint will fade and look rough pretty quickly. I never noticed that to be honest.

Which seal are you changing exactly? The egr to egr cooler?

@ the gasket of the Turbo oil Return pipe. I have a leak and the oil is running down this except pipe.

@@oliversterz7737 It needs to be done from underneath. You will need a long extension with an allen key extension.

Its not easy as the access is very tight. You also need to unfasten the oil return pipe from the engine.

@@Restospares I guessed the pipe is Just Stuck in the Engine, isn‘t it? Thanks for your help.

Hi. The car ran perfectly with the other egr. No issues at all.

Thank you 👍

Ironically i saw someone doing that yesterday and annoyingly I have 25L of it. Lol. Thanks for letting me know. I'll be using that as soon as this runs out.

I'm very busy with work so I only have a couple of hours a week. It sounds like alot but it really isn't much when it comes to a full restoration. I would definitely start though. Otherwise it will get left for a long time as life always gets in the way.

Yes. It's taking a long time. I want it painted by Christmas.

Thanks 👍

I knew you'd get there in the end .👍

Thanks.

Lovely car, annoying to work on.

I was surprised how hard it was.

Glad it helped

Forgot to ask can you lift it ok ..or does it need draging.. the 2 ton 1 im looking at goes just over 70kg..👍🏻

I can lift mine to lay it on its side when I'm not using it. It's got a wide base area to lift from so it's not too bad.

Many thanks for the info..🙂👍🏻

Thanks 👍

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I'm currently working on trying different filming options etc. I agree about the distance. I'm just worried about all the sparks flying around into the camera. I have another video going live in about 30 mins however I'll try and take closer shots for the next video.

@@Restospares Oh, I understand. I guess just zoom as best you can and see if it stays in focus. Always tough doing it on your own.

I just found out that I can buy spare lenses and change them quickly so watch this space. I'll try on my next video.

A vacuum gauge can help you and they are very cheap to buy.

Nice 👍. I'm hoping to get moving on mine now.

Nope. I think the guy that designed this was blind.

Wow. I have to admit that i forget myself at times but it's not worth taking the chance.

@@Restospares No it’s not. You’ve only got 2 eyes and they cannot be replaced. I used to work as an HSE inspector and the accidents you get to know about are horrendous. Most of them could have been prevented if the right PPE was worn and used. My last case was a huge 600 Kg industrial motor was being carried with a strop on each end of the shaft on each fork of the fork lift. The strop was frayed on one end and snapped which caused the other end to snatch the shaft and swing out and hit a man in the back breaking his back and making him paraplegic and wheelchair bound for life. They all knew it was a risk but stupidly took their chances anyway.

Wow that's bad.

I had found an easier way afterwards. I still had to move the engine forwards as there isn't enough space.

@@Restospares yo lo hago quitando los plásticos donde Val los limpia parabrisas, sacas la batería, sueltas el soporte del motor y con una cincha de amarre desplazas el motor hacia delante, y sale perfecto👍

@@Juan-gs8wx Yes, That's a good idea.

@@Juan-gs8wx yo quito motor y todo fuera xD mucho mas rapido

Thanks. Trying to get it painted by the end of the year.

It's a contour gauge. It's only about 10 pounds from Lidl but you can find them anywhere.

I had to do it more than once as i cleaned the dpf and it then needed changing anyway. I later also had to replace the turbo. You can replace the turbo in a couple of hours. The problem is that to remove the three bolts from underneath, you need to move the dpf.

@@Restospares thank you for your reply. Your video is really a useful help. beautiful day

I'm very aware of the fact that I might rebuild it in a few weeks/months so I label everything. I'm planning on repainting the engine soon hopefully. I love a nice prelude. :)

Thanks ✌️

The car ran alot smoother and the mpg increased slightly. Next time round I'll get A rated tyres as i do alot of mileage.

Hi Jimmy. If it's the one that's not prepped yet, it's the towbar hook.

I honestly think that for £52, I would also have sent it to a mechanic. I now have access to a car lift which is in my crx videos so hopefully it should be alot easier next time round

are you sure the garage really changed it? A lot of mechanics would take your money but wont change it because this job is a pain in the arse. Japanese engineering....hah

I wanted alot of access to get in and out however i now have a car tilt lift that should make it much easier now.

Thanks ✌️

Thanks. I'm going to be removing the engine anyway for a refurb.

Yes agreed. I'm looking into an air fed one.

Never even thought about that. I'll have to look at some to see if i like the look. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you.

😅 I'm using manual maint.

Thank you.

Thanks. I'll hopefully be taking the engine out this weekend.

@@Restospares cool bro

Thanks. I'm on with it now so I can hopefully get some welding done soon.
