Braai groter stukke vleis ;)

Julle vat die grid storie te ernstig op. Braai net en vat n dop. Dan sal julle dalk minder krapperig wees hier. ;)

Alternator acted up again three weeks ago to Hogsback. About 100km into the trip it would spike up to 16 volts with the battery light flickering.

I pulled over thinking its a heat issue. I used...

Gutting the CAT made no difference. Maybe a tad more mid range punch but it could be my imagination.

Maybe I must just take the lead out of my foot to get better economy figures.

Just gone through this.

Mikem was cheaper than imcomex.

Is dit nie 'n mengsel wat "linger" as gevolg van vorige blaas nie?

Dit vat bitter min coolant wat agter bly om olie weer so te laat lyk.

Het jy 'n manier om pressure leak down test te doen op...

Ek sou head afhaal. Skoonmaak. Nuwe gasket. Droog.

Volg torque roetine uit handleiding.

Maak seker die gate waar die head boute ingaan het nie olie of water in nie.

"Shortcuts make longcuts"

Decided to gut the Catalytic converters.

Strange that I have two CATs on my Gen4.1. My boss has a Gen4.2 and he only has one CAT (immediately post turbo).

The CAT immediately after the turbo...

I changed my touareg engine.

Went through the legalities. Car was still under finance

Informed the bank and insurance once done. No issues.

Dad bought his V10 treg at 145'000km.

It's now on about 420'000km without turbo problems and we changed one injector due to workshop neglecting to change diesel filter.

If that is not...

All are direct injection

Gen3 pajero is pump injection (mechanical injectors)

Gen4 pajero is common rail

All the tritons are common rail

Be careful though. There is a gen4.1 pajero and...

Yes. The R5 engine can come out the top. Not sure about the others.

The CCA is the power rating of the battery.

The Ah is how long it can supply power. Ie, it can supply 90amps for an hour but doing that is not recommended.

I dont need a battery that can give...

I went for one of these. It fits snug thanks to the previous owner that widened the battery tray.

It swings the engine nice and fast.

Die Touareg se VR6 is 'n ander monster as die ou VR6 engines. Sy plat torque kurwe en hoog KW syfers wys in die gevoel van die kar. Gepaard met daai briljante 6 spoed automaties ratkas is dit rerig...

Daai VR6 maak torque laag. Mens dink dis n diesel as hy trek en dan as die revs klim raak dit net lekkerder.

Nee wat, daai vr6 is als behalwe pap. Hy maak goed krag. Self op lae revs.

I maintain a VR6 treg like that.

That engine is a gem. Frugal when driven sedately and lots of power when needed but as with any high powered SUV, you have to feed the horses if you use them.

Modern VW PS pumps are sensitive to the fluid spec. What fluid did you use? Generally you need the white bottle with green cap from Goldwagen. NOT ATF!

Had to fork out for a new battery. These Di-D engines need a healthy battery and mine was starting to let me down.

Your info may be correct that most of the cracked pistons are from bad injectors. But perhaps not all. I was merely giving a different optional scenario.

Perhaps a cracked piston allows so much...

That cracked piston looks like a defect. Not an injector issue. That crack is right in line with the gudgeon pin, so as the combustion pressure increases it cracks over the gudgeon pin. Even when...

Just decode via vcds. Simple.

Periodic inspection. Change them if they have a tear.

I would tee into the reservoirs and find a proper pump.

You can not pump back via seat connection. The valveblock wont allow it.

Keep the schrader valves as an extra safety.

Most failures...

Most diesel clatter issues on the 4m41 is either tappet clearances or the SQL values.

This should be in every air suspension treg's tool bag.

Great post.

You should make a few kits and sell them.

You need to access the gearbox ecu and splice into a wire on the harnass.

The rest is simple but time consuming to route wires etc.

Lock-Up-Mate from Australia arrived.

Great bit of kit. Took about an hour to install.

First impressions, I reckon Ill save up to 10-20% on the fuel bill. Yes, that much! Biggest savings is...

Its a patrol ;)

I suppose 2wd with low range transfer case not locked, is cheaper than 4wd low with center diff and transfer case.

I would be very careful with 2wd low.

Having all that power going to one axle is an invitation to break something.
