Ah fair enough.
Could well be lower cambelt cover, although they shouldn't of had that off doing the PAS pump?
As me and Scott know from looking through his big collection of freshly plated bolts, its a pain figuring where everything comes from, even when you know lots of them.
Seen loads of aftermarket ones leak and fail quite early.
I'd check condition of it when aux belt is removed, but ultimately leave until it is noisy or leaking. They manage severe mileage.
I think you're over worrying about it. My brother spends a month a year in the US and always brings back expensive items without issue, inc iPads and his last two iPhones.
Same as normal seats, easiest to get underneath and remove the four 4 13mm bolts per seat. Two under rubber covers near the sills, other two in exhaust tunnel.
To paint a vague picture, I'm looking to buy a Clio, Its described as ropey, so I'm not expecting it to get me home.
I don't currently have breakdown cover, have always previously relied on friends and family, or towed/trailered cars I've been uncertain about.
However, as I plan to collect...
You can still run a Diesel lean, or bloody rich. Any black smoke is rich, Off boost a bit is acceptable, on boost it shouldn't smoke at all. My Black DCi (Overlay remapped) smokes constantly, only slightly, but it annoys me.
EGT sensors are great on Diesels, as you can keep an eye on whats...
If thats a live map, and not a overlay map, that is good. I got quoted £230 by a specialist, without RR.
Overlay maps can cause richness, and leanness, Morso the former, but still not right!
Have fitted entire new topmounts, inc new springs to a Clio, and rather than the new style top mounts solving knocking (Not that there was one there before!), I have actually devloped a knocking. Its 100% definitely top mounts.
I've not had this issue before, and its bloody annoying.
I want to...
No need to do any of that, this is a TSFI DSG. Have got most of it off, just need to get engine mount off, cambelt off and turbo off before head comes out. Its had one of the cam pulleys (chain end) fall apart.
Luckily, I hope that won't be my job!
We have the correct locking tools for all of it, so hopefully that'll solve half of the issue. My mate has a dial gauge anyway.
Not even got it stripped yet, I hate working on stuff for the first time.
Tonight has been very busy...
Dr Jekyll, much appreciated came round to give me a hand with a couple of bits, and keep me sain while messing with many cars. Just before he left, a complaint was made about Serv light and the dash flashing Oil etc... Most of you know where this is going... Not...
Been a bit slack here recently, Haven't been taking pictures, nor had anybody to take pictures for me.
I have a couple of pictures from today...
Had the rear bumper off the Black DCi to fit the missing foam, unacceptable to be missing IMO, plus the bumper didn't sit right.
And also, arch...
Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+
Big red or Brakeparts.co.uk, used them a fair bit.
I'm glad you enjoyed the black DCi power. Its effect on me has worn off now.
Car looked good though, just needs a few more bits and it'll be a even nicer/better car!

Dash-less driving would be extreamly funny!
Give me a couple of days, and some sleep, and I'll figure it out.
I feel I should add more here too.
I had never seen Scott's car before, bar pictures, but it is as mint as it looks. Scott's attention to detail, is amazing, although annoying sometimes when working with him! lol
Was a good day yesterday, Even giving me a choice of smoked or un-smoked bacon...

I'll get back to you on that, Unless you want to come to mine, I'm too busy with my Clios.
