Hi all after my previous disaster posts I am now pleased to announce that the phoenix has rison from the ashes and is better than ever new engine with 67k and new turbo's no noisy tappets etc and drives like a dream thanks for all tips advice etc I'm now one happy bunny next purchase oil temp oil pressure and boost gauges all sitting in a pillar pod

Did you manage to drill out the tappets ok ?
Just curious as to how easy it is

Never bothered jazzcam cos ones in new engine are quiet as a mouse but I don't think I wud have had any problems as I work as a cnc machinist

[kennyt123]

Just a quick one new engine is fine but when I accelerate it misses as if it's gonna cut out just wondering if it could be an iffy vacum hose or something

[Nick Mann]

It could be an air leak. It could also be a failing maf or coil pack, dodgy plugs or leads etc.

Maf came off original engine and was fine when it was on that also noticed battery light flickers a little bit maybe it's electrical

How much did the swap cost you in the end if you dont mind me asking?

[kennyt123]

650 cash erni902 charged for 15 hours labour
