Hi All. Noob Transit owner here. Also noob to diesels and turbos but do know my way around a spanner.
Just bought a Mk5 with an Aussie Winnebago motorhome on the back. Twenty years old but only 78,000 kms on the clock.
looking through the paperwork, it only has 2 recorded services plus a diesel injector pump replacement at 60,000kms. Paperwork for pump replacement says original replaced with mechanical pump to eliminate the electronic issues in the old pump. That's all it says.
So I'm just starting to clean up under the bonnet but have found a couple of things I'm not sure about.
According to the VIN plate, engine is 100ps.
First Pic shows a vacuum line that comes from the top of the air-box but the other end is not attached to anything. Looked all over but can't work out where it should go.
Second Pic shows an empty 3 pin wiring socket just near the EGR thingo? Am I missing some wiring?
Third Pic shows what looks like a (severly leaking) blanking plug in the intake maninforld. Is this normally sealed with a gasket or 'o' ring or sealant of some kind?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Dave
