Later Mk5 Di into 1990 Mk3

[ColinJack]

If this engine is from the van I think its from(my old auto- tourneo)Its a fantastic engine I sold the tourneo to stevescaravans.

It most certainly is - and it is very sweet.

First big trip this weekend - down to Bristol (from Norfolk). Yesterday was just a quick dash around the back lanes to check for leaks!
Heading to Portugal and Spain this summer - hopefully this year we won't embarrass ourselves on the hills!

Ive got some of the seats from that tourneo...

Does it still have the seatbelts for the middle row? If so I would be interested in them!

[ColinJack]

OMG

Haven't really done any proper tweaking of the fuel yet, but thought I would 'have a little try' adding a bit more fuel (with wife in car behind checking smoke). Stuck on an extra half turn of max and two turns of midrange and just about wet myself ... could climb a tree in top and pretty quickly too!! No smoke yet either.

This with a fully loaded camper.

Can't wait to get it set up properly ... with more boost and intercooler.

I'll see what Steve has left in there.

Nice one mate, glad you are happy with it

Just get that intercooler on and you will see some more big gains!

First trip with the new engine - not yet fully set up and with a homemade 'Blue Peter' air filter (cardboard, chicken wire, foam and gaffer tape ) ...

Bit noisy but does the job!

Mission was to take a full household of furniture from Norfolk to Bristol (king size double bed, lounge suite, dining suite, sofa bed, etc.) for our daughter's new house. We were struggling to fit a duvet in at the end!



Magic! Up hill and down dale at 50-55mph in 5th gear and even able to accelerate up hill in 5th with all that weight!! Just wait until it is properly set up.
Returned 29mpg - need to get even better.

Glad all is well mate,

For that air filter, you deserve a 'Blue Peter Badge'.

Pretty Pukka I reckon ...

Now I need to work out how to get 40mpg like the Chucklebus is quoted to get!!

Think you might need to cut the roof off and loose half the body for that!

Need to speak to Dieselhead123 about the dark arts of diesel tuning!
