This guy on eBay is crazy cheap for servicing parts, based in Motherwell.. not sure how close you are, it's all Scotlandshire to me ;) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222367137780 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Just checked, it was a Circoli branded thermostat - Looked identical to the OEM one I removed. I did buy genuine coolant from TPS though, was cheap enough and I bought Quantum PD oil at the same time. I am sure you know, but the PD engines run on a very particular oil.. Book recommends 5w30...

Epic barge. I've got an A4 Avant PD130 (same car, different badge!).. It's covered a mere 163,000 miles, with minimal problems. I was suffering from poor MPG and the engine / coolant not coming up to temp. £3 thermostat and a bottle of coolant, sorted.... MPG went from low 30's to mid 50's! On...

That's some serious commitment and skills. Proper job.

F4R's have always been prone to weak ring lands... Even on the 172 / 182 NA engines. IMO it' just potluck if you break or not, you don't know the history of the cars which have broke. They could've been running lean, poor maintenance , bad mapping "stage 37 generic map M8" I suspect we are...

I'll be catching you up soon @SharkyUK My Megane has been off the road 17 months now FFS....

I'll give you £200 for the car mate, can collect tonight @The Russian. ?

Proper job!

I think mine where just under 2 thou on a standard crank with forged rods.

First question.... Why are you changing the headgasket? It's very rare they fail on the F4R engine.

That looks fantastic.... A credit to you!

Always liked them. I have the same engine in my A4 Avant, really considering a remap though!

Is it coming from bottom of gearbox, where it meets engine block or from the front (facing) area? It could be the pipe which has broken, which would be 10x cheaper than a broken CSC.

The Megane 225 / r26 etc. uses the same modine. The Megane 250 uses an even larger core modine.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!! Awesome results Mark, bet that goes like a rat up a drain pipe :)

Such a c**k tease ;) Really looking forward to the next update, Mark!

When I bought my DS1.11's for the Megane, they came with specific bedding in instructions.

Nice one mate, always good to know you aren't firing blanks :wink:

Sounds like a comprehensive build list! Cannot wait to see you driving the car again, Andy :)

I really like them, look alot neater than Aerocatches IMO. @NorthloopCup might be worried of people opening his bonnet and ejaculating on his awesome engine :tonguewink:

;)

Fire.

Awesome attention to detail, as per usual! I need to pull my finger out and finish the Megane.

Tha motor looks alreeete lad.

Go to Vault 81... Once you gain access you can buy a rifle called 'Overseers Guardian'. 2 shot rilfe ;)

If you buy a new pump from Renault, they have been updated to run higher pressure. My forged F4R turbo makes 5.0BAR of oil pressure, cold, running 10w40 oil.

Level 45 now. I've been to the institute, that was a mind bender! I am still enjoying the game, but certain aspects are starting to feel repetitive...

Exactly this. The information is nice, but you can't constantly monitor it while driving (Although I haven't drove it for 5 months LOL)! The SPA gauges have some nice features... I am going to program high and low alarm settings for oil pressure and temperatures

Very nice. I've got a set of SPA oil temp / oil pressure, boost pressure / water temp gauges to fit aswell :)

I'll be running my forged r26 engine on 10w60, once it's run in! Done the initial run up / first few 100 miles on this: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60229-millers-oils-cro-10w-40-competition-running-in-mineral-engine-oil.aspx
