Re: EGR pipe woes

As yojimbo mentioned, high temp. Ultra Copper silicone gasket maker in place of conventional gasket. Just glad Mardy got involved. Simply replacing broken exhaust egr pipe and re-blanking that would in my estimation just be waiting to fatigue again from engine vibration and repeating the cycle. Blan...

Re: EGR pipe woes

First of all, thanks to Mardy! Who knew that the blanking plate that I had installed on the top of the egr pipe 2 years ago; when I removed the egr; also fits the exhaust manifold port when the rest of the pipe was removed. Now it is blanked again with no chance of another pipe breaking in the futur...

EGR pipe woes

Just had my blanked off egr pipe snap off while up at Jone's lake. Limped back home but what a slug since the turbo was affected due to less exhaust pressure going to it. Was wondering if anyone else had looked into blanking it where it mounts to the exhaust manifold as the pipe is quite a "lev...

Re: Oil leak in Vacuum hose...

No joy in attacking from the front, kept running into engine protrusion. Finally got it after majorly stubbying a combination wrench, removing oil filter and then it let go. Putting the top bolt in was a different matter all together. Got to be a contortionist to work on this thing. :shock:

Re: Oil leak in Vacuum hose...

Must be something the time change or temp. change brought on as mine just started leaking as well. If someone has actually done this hose swap could you enlighten me on how you accessed the upper bolt as I haven't been able to get any of my 17mm wrenches to grab it even though I did my best impressi...

Re: wisdom needed

Update.......Took Chuggy to see Edwin at CVI and had a Delica Tune done. 3 of the 4 injectors was either sticky or out of spec. Vibration went down slightly, but significant increase in power/acceleration. Edwin is great, highly recommend CVI. Yesterday I finally had time to blank my EGR with Jensen...

Re: wisdom needed

Idle is set right at 750 indicated in neutral, 675 when in gear. Also I should mention that new air and fuel filters about 200 kms ago. Timing belts and all tensioners done 10,000 km ago by Amazing Auto. Shudder usually goes ago in neutral, but sometimes is slightly noticeable. Thanks again. Tom

I have searched for a solution to my 1992 Delica's recent vibration issue. No conclusive info for the vibration. Symptoms include a pronounced medium to heavy vibration while in gear at a stop light or backing up with no to very little throttle input, but not always. The engine itself purrs in neutr...
