Re: Turbo Question
Thanks. I was a little worried about an oil leak near turbo/exhaust.

Turbo Question
Would anyone happen to know where I can find gaskets for turbo-to-intake-manifold and turbo-to-oil-line for a 1985 1.6TD T3 Turbo? Or perhaps a DIY solution that works well. See pic circled in red.

Re: TD Won't Rev
Just a follow up on the IP...finally got it to rev w/o manual pressure to the pump but wouldn't rev fully. Then I noticed leaks at the shaft seal and head...predictable after suspected WVO on OEM seals. Now she comes apart for Viton!
Thanks for all the help!!!

Re: TD Won't Rev
Couldn't find Diesel Purge...three auto stores never even heard of it. Instead I tried "Power Service/Diesel Kleen/Injector Cleaner & Performance Improver." Recirculated in a quart jar for about five minutes and she stays lit on her own now. Another five minutes and I can rev it w/o pr...

Re: TD Won't Rev
It's been sitting since 2008. Thanks for the heads-up bypassing fuel tank! Tomorrow afternoon I will give it a whirl.

TD Won't Rev
Trying to revive a 1983 Quantum TD. The engine will fire up but wont rev. Idle is rough and eventually dies. Things I've tried: Connected fuel primer bulb, squeeze it while giving some throttle and engine revs. Changed fuel filter. Cleaned fuel tank screen (gummy as if SVO/WVO was ran) and made sure...

Re: NA pump in a TD motor...
The 107A ran a bit better than my 109C in my 1.6 NA motor and better mileage too. And I do recall having to back off the timing a tad. Thanks for the reminder Fatmobile!

Re: Old guy Old Rabbit---both Happy.
The other might be "Ugly Duckling." I know hagar had hoses that bypassed the fuel tank for various tests...pics/explanation should be in this thread. If memory serves me, there is a clear fish-tank hose that runs from the LDA to the dash with a valve...it is how he switched from ECO mode t...

Re: Old guy Old Rabbit---both Happy.
Howdy Cerot, Did you end up with "Bondo Bunny?" If so, she is the jewel that made hagar's heart tick on beat! Im gonna step out on the ledge here and say that we all wanted that jewel but none wanted the title of capitalizing on hagar's undying love for "Bunny." Your a lucky man ...
