wanna sell me your sump and oil pick up from your blown motor? :)

Haha, yeah maybe. I might list the bottom end complete first and see how it goes.

The head's been paid for and couriered today, that was fast. Thanks once again @admS15 for the tip!

No problem, glad to have been able to help out. Obviously I was in the right thread in the right time[emoji106]

The new engine has arrived from Sydney today, fingers cross I'll have the car back next week yay! Lots of new seals and gaskets going in, radiator and intercooler are getting flushed etc, getting it all done properly.

Ok the replacement engine is in, my mechanic did a very tidy job with it.

I'm currently in the process of ironing out a couple of niggles, one of them being the drop of oil still collecting at the bottom of the turbo front housing. The working theory was that it might have been leaking from the turbo oil feed but my mechanic pulled out the fitting and it seemed all good. One of the housing front housing bolt threads wasn't holding so we've replaced the bolt with a longer one that now tightens properly. We've also left out the catch can for the time being.

Does anyone have any other ideas on where the heck that oil might be coming from? Like Tao said there are no oil galleries in the comp cover so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me...

Is the face between the comp cover and the diffuser plate properly sealed with either an o-ring or some thin sealant?

Good question, I'm actually not sure. However I never had this issue before late last year and I just can't work out if it's engine related (blowby) or turbo related (oil feed or internal)...

Forgot to ask if you checked the intake pipe connection? I know i've had oil weeping from there in the past.

You mean where the intake connects to the turbo front housing? Not recently, I will have a look

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
