right yet more problems wish i had never bought the thing

top hose has gone but i have a very very loud screeching noise when i pull away about 10 times louder than when a fanbelt slips anyone know what this could be also if i block the wastegate up the van seems to run excellent as soon as i unblock it it chucks black smoke out the back could this be the pump ??? i have tried different injecters but i have got a good pump but i think the epic pump needs to be programmed to the key does anyone know if this is the case

[madmark]

maybe the turbo????????? you are not haveing much luck with that engine are you! normaly they are good apart from the pumps!

[100ps_drw_hicube]

input shaft bearing, screechs when your foot is on the clutch pedal (clutch disengaged), goes when you engage clutch foot of pedal?

[100ps_drw_hicube]

have checked cant be that as only does it between 2500rpm and 4200rpm when driving

[madmark]

are you shure??? thats about the time the turbo is working as such! there is a engine out of a ambulance on ebay at the moement! item number!4592357814

[ukdezman]

back to the head problem it would have been torqued down to wrong setting due to hyraulic pressure in the bolt holes

[100ps_drw_hicube]

right going to try another turbo on it tommorow i think maybe one of the oil pipes could be blocked as the vac pump went a little while ago due to blockage in pipes that engine thats on ebay is from a pre smiley so i dont know if it will be a simple plug and play as i belive some of the wiring is diferent but if anyone can confirm if it is a straight swap i might go for it

[100ps_drw_hicube]

have found the fault today a lot easier than i was expecting 2 of the ex manifold bolts vibrated loose tightened them up and no screaching

[Valsheda]

HOPE THATS YOUR BIG HEADACHE OVER WITH FOR A WHILE NOW

[100ps_drw_hicube]

ye all good now for the time being its amazing what just tightning 2 bolts can do not as expensize as i thought it was going to be

[100ps_drw_hicube]

right just noticed when lifting bonnet there was no coolant in the header tank so i undone cap to fill it up and as i got to the last turn on the cap it shot off and all the coolant came back up into the tank anyone know what has caused this it still seems to run fine i.e the guage is reading in the middle

[rover]

Was that when it was hot?

If it was let it cool down and see if theres still coolant in there, the pressure you describe does sound a little over the top, but that may be down to something as simple as the pressure release valve in the cap being 'bunged up'.

no stone cold havent driven it for over a week because the spring hanger has gone just on the last turn of the cap there was a little bit of hissing then whoosh as it all came back into the tank
