Actuator= wastegate….

 

[JockandRita]

Did tell him ages ago check the wastegate

That was the first thing I checked out when I had the same problem in Spain, ie, getting the Boss to rev up to 3000rpm, while I was underneath lubricating the wastegate actuator as it operated.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the problem.
As mention a good few pages ago, it turned out to be a loss of pressuredue to a tiny hole in the large turbo boost pipe to the intercooler, which I was unable to identify. IVECO Blanes soon found it though.

Cheers,

Jock.

What lubricant did you use Jock..?

Yes same here, got the mrs to rev engine after I’d sprayed tons of lubricant on the pivot, then used a hammer to reach, holding the hammer head and pushing against the bottom of the handle to free it up as mentioned though it was the vacuum that had failed on mine

WD40 released mine

 

[Puddleduck]

Take the bulb out.

Or stick a bit of electrician's tape over it.

I found the red/orange hose to the turbo has a cut in it and could be leaking but not sure, we will try to get a replacement

You could stick some duct tape on and see if it makes a difference?

I'm bringing Tams thread back to doggies here for a bit.... and with what I've been up to today, so any PVC owners with fur babies have a wee look at this it's even better than something of Blue Peter!..... of course its not 1 size fits all you have to make it according to your pup size lol (and here it is being demonstrated by my crew, Iggy, Hector & Bleu)

Brilliant idea. We bought a tension rod baby stair gate for our 40kg Labradoodle. He never once pushed on it or tried to get out.

 

[Just smiffy]

We got another hose from a scrappy and then drove to a couple of places to get service parts so it would make it easier to service with the inter cooler off, will do the service tomorrow then I can get a look at the wastegate…

If it is the hose I hope he buys a new one but we know how tight Scots are.

A NEW ONE!!!

He only has to get to Morocco!

CaptainPaul thats great. Very professional looking. What is the gate part made of? And where did you get the grove things?

We desperately need something to stop Millie launching herself out through the fly screen whenever she sees a cat!

The gate part is just 5mm acrylic sheet i cut to size, and the groves are 8mm aluminium U channel,
Where mine is located the flyscreen still works perfectly and the door closes inside

Actuator= wastegate….

The waste gate bellows attach to a rod that goes to the actual wastegate. The end opposite to where it attaches you can usually use a 6" shifting spanner slid over the lever at the opposite end & lever in the direction that the rod is pointing to away from the bellows. I hope that makes sense? If not I'll video on my spare turbo & send to Tam on wassap.

 

[gus-lopez]

Air filter is old and was full of crap

That certainly wouldn't help

Paul the top edges of the channel need rounding off if you slip and fall against them you could get a nasty injury

Nice old bus parked opposite.

Nice that
Looks silver . But like those colour coded headlights

 

[Northernraider]

Did tell him ages ago check the wastegate

Wastewater on this is nothing like the fiat ducato one . Harder to reach . And not as easy to move the actuator

 

[suavecarve]

Everybody knows I know sod all about electrics.

So I go by what others tell me.

Just smiffy van is 6 metres. His starter battery and leisure battery are at opposite ends , he bought his xs50amp controller from off grid and they supplied him with 16mm square cable . So as mine is 4/4.5 metres I assumed 16mm would do mine. Especially as I won't be running the b2b at the 50amp limit I'll be reducing it to 30amp.

Everybody kens by now that leccy ain't my strong point , I can add lights , sockets blah blah blah but volts , currents, amps etc etc are completely lost on me.

But realistically, with your low usage of leccy, and reasonable solar, how often would you be putting 30ah in.

You'll probably be full before the time larger wires would be necessary.

I m doing the same as you re solar and lithium and even though I will use 50 amps up charging our bikes more than you, I m reckoning by the time we get 360 watts pulling in we ll be full.

(Says the equally knowledgeable non electrician !)

Only on the fiat ducato Richard. The wastegate on the iveco is nothing like it unfortunately. So you can't do the spanner trick. I had to constantly free the one off on the euramobil . The iveco turbo etc is twice the size of the fiat . It's a big mither

What lubricant did you use Jock..?

All that I had to hand Garry was silicone spray, but I was totally conscious of the fact that I was spraying on to hot components, so very wary and prepared to deal with any consequences as a result.

If it is the hose I hope he buys a new one but we know how tight Scots are.

Tam might have thought your post funny Lenny, but I didn't. You've clearly not met many Scots in your lifetime, nor been a recipient of their generosity, so please keep your snide and racist comments to yourself. Thank you.

Jock.

Well its been a busy day today ..
Got the new headlights from oppoe oils this morning ... got them fitted while Just smiffy started stripping bits off the engine .

Also refitted the stainless steel bonnet trim that was hanging off when I bought the van

Went to scrapyard and got a replacement turbo hose . Not sure if the old one had a hole in it or not but it was damaged so £5 for a replacement one.

This van was allegedly serviced last October but like everything else that looks like bullshit.
The state of these they're not a year old

I'd planned to do a oil and filters change anyway so we headed off again to euro carparts , new air filter £30 , new oil filter £12 ordered new diesel filter will collect in morning £15 .

Round to oppie oils again , 10 litres of 5w30 fully synthetic oil ..bit of discount £42

Found out when under the van it has 2 diesel filters ...there's a filter just after the tank and a small pre pump... this filter is apparently a likely cause of the injector light too , so I'll see if I can get one of those tomorrow or place it on order again.

It sits on the chassis rail

This is the bugger
Inline filter

And pre pump

Just smiffy then headed off to the spa again and I sanded down and painted the rusty servo

So my brake pads arrive tomorrow. Will get wheel off , check wastegate , change brake pads, change oil and filters , diesel filter etc . Fit replacement hose and see if that's made any difference. Never got b2b etc fitted today.


But solar has had a not bad yield . Really only got sunny about noon and then the house blocks the sun after about 3pm so not bad really

Phoned the garage back again that dod the cambelt as he hadn't sent me the photos.. he sounds convincing enough and he definitely has had it stripped down . The part number is a dayco belt .

I'm off the belief he'd have to be stupid to strip it down that far and not fit a belt but Just smiffy is still suspicious lol.

I let the guy believe on the phone that the van was being independently inspected by vosa as we spoke so he sent the photos there and then so I think it has been done . The alternator belt and aircon belt aren't new but they look OK. No signs of cracks or wear etc.

So that's that . A busy day with some progress made and Mr wallet is down for another £100 lol

Yes I checked

 

[berni109]

Touched a bit of a nerve there then Jock.
Racial stereotypes are a thing of humour and not to be taken seriously.
Like Yorkshire people with deep pockets and relatively short arms, the Welsh and sheep and people from this area being known as cabbage cutters.
Lighten up don't take things so seriously.

 

[jannyman]

Informative and inspirational guys. Thanks and well done.
