Hi Guys i need some technical info, I have a 1,5 dci k9k 63kw and burnt a hole in number 4 piston and had to re do the whole engine I also did the turbo and injectors, the engine is running good but i have 2 concerns
1 I had a challenge setting the waste gate on the turbo, had 2 different fault codes one saying turbo performance is at maximum and the other turbo performance is at minimum level, I managed to set it in such a way that the light does not come on and it does not give the errors any more, the intake manifold pressure is 0.8 bar on idle an goes to 2 bar, now people tell me that is way to high but no one can tell me exactly what it should be can you maybe tell me?
Then when cold it cranks over about 5 to 6 times before starting and when hot only once or twice, now i have replaced the glow plug but could not get exactly the same ones and then got a replacement, I have tested the glow plug circuits and all is good and getting 12v to all for about 10-11 seconds. Now can the cold start probleem be because of the no OEM glow plugs on maybe the fact that the engine is new and still needs to be run in?
