I sincerely hope that once you get this all done you fall in love with this car and keep it. It's going to be too good to sell on after all the blood sweat and tears..... It's also a brilliant car for being able to do a full restoration series as you have proved. Great work and good luck with it all. Totally looking forward to the next instalment. 👍
You could need a remapping after installing these aftermarket parts, they'll alter the way the manufacturers specs, especially with the age/millage of the engine. Good luck with her.
@@H19XNS it's always the same working on older engines, especially adding new parts. Old seals are broken, and we think they're sound, and when we start them up, it pisses fluid everywhere! It's a learning process.
@tonymcnamara9368 I’m definitely learning mate it’s all part of it ain’t it, things go wrong then I know for next time how it’s done 😎 I’ve got to stop the coolant line from dripping now then all good just getting to it is hard, should have borrowed a torque wrench and done it that was it shouldn’t leak 😂 but I’m impatient
Metal pipe from turbo to intercooler is called a charge pipe. Have you been using a torque wrench and tightening the banjo bolts to the correct spec? Bit late now but as you were doing an oil change you could have dropped the oil before removing the turbo and unbolted the oil return line from the sump and then fitted the oil return line to the new turbo off the car. Also you could have removed the downpipe studs off the old turbo and fitted these to the new one making the refit of the down pipe gasket and downpipe easier so if you do end up pulling the turbo off again consider doing this.
I seen a charge pipe on eBay it’s like £50 looks decent, deleted the baffle and it’s chrome to match the DV but don’t know if I’m going to spend anymore on it tbh 😂
I've had two cupra r and I said that on the 2nd one. But guess what I spent more on it then the 1st. Then owned a mk2 focus st so much fun but nit for a daily car.... now own a mk3 focus st diesel lol
