So I got the oil leak sorted... Everything is running great and it's pretty quick.

Only thing is ( and Craig will be pissed at this ) - the miss us was adamant didn't like it anymore and wanted it gone. So the new owner came and picked it up this evening...

Not too happy but what can you do :down:

I'll be back though...

Damn that's gotta be the record for shortest ownership!!

Oil leak was LHS cam cover gasket again. I retightened everything up and it isn't happening anymore. I think I may have let it drop out of the channel in the cover a bit at the front on fitting.

I had no love for the turbo replacement, but I really liked the power it was making afterwards. You still thinking of getting something else ala Audi?

I owned it for 12 months, thats not too bad. The other half never liked it though (apart from the boot space) and it just wasn't worth the hassle of her never liking driving it (and it being her main car...)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
