205 DTI

[Paul_13]

Used a Pugracing adapter to be able to use a 205 gti oil pressure sender and I'll have this hooked up to the gti clocks so everything works - oil pressure /temp etc

---

Thinking of sticking an oil cooler on this I've got lying around

---

On a positive note the actuator now clears, might have to shave a bolt housing off the cold side of the turbo as it's very close to the uj

[Paul_13]

---

Just made up the loom which retains the brown plugs on the gti.

I'm installing an oil temp sensor in the sump as there's 2 sump plugs.

So I'll have

Oil warning light
Oil pressure
and
Oil temp all through the gti clocks with a dturbo Rev counter.

---

These are the only 2 wires I'm struggling with, it's the wire for the pump solenoid which goes through the relay does this need to be switched or permanent live, I'm guessing permanent

[Paul_13]

More progress, fuel tank swapped and fuel lines

Wiring half done

Rad in

Had to ditch PAS

Fuel lines in the bay done

---

[Paul_13]

There's quite a few things rubbing, great linkages on turbo and exhaust middle box on the chassis. Nervous wait!

Getting rid of the middle box tomorrow

Sounds like a plan...

It rubs...remove.

[Paul_13]

Can't remove gear linkages

[powerandtorque]

Well, you could... but the drawbacks might be quite limiting

[Paul_13]

FAIL

[welshpug]

Cable shift!

[Piggy]

FAIL

Ah dang.

What on?

[Paul_13]

Me being an idiot, didn't tighten the subframe bolts.
Somethings changed fueling wise, smoking a hell of a lot more for some reason

Passenger door playing up, side light bulb playing silly buggers

---

All done ready for retest.
Fueling down as low as possible, but still some smoke out the back.
No where near as much as it did

[Piggy]

Nothing major...you'll have that sorted...

Just wind fuel back n add throttle stop for the MOT

[Paul_13]

Some one mentioned heat soak on another thread, had a good drive of this yesterday and the inlet was cool, so intercooler is working well

[Alan_M]

Is that video you sent me before or after fiddling with the fuel?

[Paul_13]

Before

[Paul_13]

I've turned the fuel down that much its worse than a NA diesel to drive. I think after about 20 seconds of foot flat in 2nd it finally comes on boost

[Paul_13]

Got the glow plug light working

---

---

Well it passed and nearly blew it up 5 mins later as

---

It ran away.

Something not right with the pump, it come on boost then as I had the fueling up high it ran away

[procta]

bloody hell! sods law that is! you put some time into it and then it decides to play funny f*ckers!

[Paul_13]

Turned the fuel up too high, accelerated and came on boost and it just started redlining. Stuck it 5th and stalled it. Quite lucky really

---

Something up with the pump, ideally needs rebuilding /resealing

[Dum-Dum]

A new pump isn't the end of the world or I'm sure someone here could rebuild it for you.

It's looking good though, nearly there, don't loose the love.

[Paul_13]

Feel like the challenge myself to be honest, there's a few mods I'd like to do. I've a spare 9mm pump lying around
