Since i last posted on this project topic which is of my car, 6-7 (http://6-7) months ago,I have not realy done much except keep it running and fix usual wear and tear. Replaced Engine mounts.
OOO yeah i took the dash out for nothing :crap: :laugh: broke down and towed home once, due to silly rac guy and my shoddy earth :sad2:.
Well the oil leak ended up being the OE oil pressure sensor or sensors in my case, mates car had same prob but just the bottem oil feed pressure sensor. **** crack ..
Any thing like that aint good, Turbo oil feed leaking, is crying out for turbo failure lucky mine didnt pack up back then, i always checked and toped up the oil when needed will have helped...
Now 7 months on turbo smokes on rev down from time to time...
It dose need a oil change now and i think the oil might be getting a tad hot from time to time.
time will tell, dont know what to do. thinking last few months i need a new car/van as a daily driver as thats what my gtt is for, I must state it has been very good cheap/fast/fun.
But am needing to have a change, not thru not enjoying, just my car needs love, dont want to just keep driving it as it is for some reason.
A - Put it in my garage were it lives anyway to just sit there. getting an engine rebuild / new turbo / respray suspention and treasure.
B - A different engine ( diesel ) for the time being or maybe get sumat that can pull..
C - Or cant belive am saying it, sell to help fund for a van.
I have had brief thinkings on "C" :scared: NO WAY, So am left with "A" or "B" and dont have money to do "A" unless cutting corners and getting some second hand bits, so unless i could get very good products the second hand ideas in the bin.
So am left with "B" and that way i can rebuild my c1j in my own good time.
Like i say am after some thing different, weather it be more power/ less power / bigger/ smaller, i would love to turn my boost up but am now on my limit with oe t2 , cam, Fort of turning my boost down but hey that aint gonna be easy...
