Tom's TDCi Titanium X...

[Toms306]

Puggy, Tom could you make you dislike sex, there's just something in the way he talks about stuff.

I reckon a gtb sat in the front there would solve all your dpf problems, Tom.

I could, easily...it's disgusting with all the physical touching and leaking fluids, an an ideal way of sharing diseases...

But back on topic...the turbo is the one thing I've been expecting to break, been regularly checking play and so far it's not any worse than when I bought it... That's not to say it won't just suddenly explode though of course...

Be grateful its just that. Weve got the head off one atm that had a snapped glowplug. So if they feel iffy in anyway at all. DO NOT keep turning.

Lol, I don't know it's just that yet, they may not fix the issue!! We also don't know whether I'll break a plug, as said in the chatbox, you may end up with another DV6 head to remove, I don't do engine work.

Also, they always feel iffy to start...I swear they're balanced worse than the 8v DW10s. Get some really odd harmonic vibrations through the rev range as well. Cost cutting FTL...



Anyway, after asking the local 'car' people within walking distance (grand total of 3...) no-one has a glowplug socket...and why would they, they stick with the better fuel...

So am I'm in a slightly less 'kill everything' mood this morning I'll put some of the car back together (sure we don't need half the stuff I've removed...hopefully ha!) then go buy a glowplug socket, at least I'll have one for future then. Will also go to parents house to see if I can find the EGR blank as I can't be arsed to strip off the rear panels again to fit that lol.
