Get it sorted! 4.5k is rubbish lol

Saying that i'm glad I don't need to join the 6krpm club. That shit scares me. I'll keep my midrange thanks lol


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 05-06-2013

It is all sorted now, and its waaaaaaaay better! The first time i took it past 5k i thought it sounded strange more than anything!

RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 27-06-2013

Just renewed my insurance policy, dropped a massive chunk off it now, hope to start progressing with the car now! Big Grin


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 29-06-2013

Finished work today knowing i wanted to come home and give the car a quick wash, and somehow ended up giving it a fairy liquid wash, fresh polish and 2 coats of wax and clean the engine bay aswell :/ Anyway here we go...

Finally got a leash on the boost! Time to get some actual tuning underway!


Hunter continued with a td04! - Stephen - 04-07-2013

What psi you boosting?


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 04-07-2013

14 atm coaling everywhere. Had a cashflow problem this week, running on veg fumes with a blocked to shit fuel filter.


In other news, almost certain i've lifted the head/headgaskets gone and i might have blown the heater matrix i replaced 6months ago, so major engine work on the cards next week now. Just desperately need some hdi rods by then because i dont want to strip it down twice! Arrrgghhh.


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Midnightclub - 05-07-2013

There's a set of HDi rods in the for sale section for like £20 i swear?


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - ginge191 - 05-07-2013

Yeh; max is selling them


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 05-07-2013

Piggy was in there first so being fair to him, if he doesnt have them i have said i deffo NEED them for next week.


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 05-07-2013

Bloody car Sad


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 06-07-2013

Right made a start on the headgasket/rod change/heater matrix job.

Got called into work yesturday so spent all morning working which was gay, by the time i got into the garage and actually started it was around 2/3 Sad
So today i got the manifolds off took the cambelt covers off, watched Darrens videos to figure out the tensioner then couldnt find the flywheel hole :/ So all in all not alot done today :/
Few pics of stuff...

That is all. Getting really fed up aswell, looking at other cars on the bay :/


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - ginge191 - 06-07-2013

Sell it back to me for scrap value. Kthanksbye


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - strictly_perv - 06-07-2013

I've just done a head change on mine. Be sure to remove the stay housing and the top engine mount but which bolts onto the head and block. The bolts are fiddly though.
It's really not too hard a job so don't be too put off by it.
Good luck

Don't give up with it! When you get it all sorted and finished you will be glad you fix it and will fall back in love with it! It's the joys of 306 ownership!!


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 06-07-2013

Thanks guys, hopefully when i get back to it monday i'll be feeling the love and wanting to crack on!


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - cwspellowe - 06-07-2013

Yeah, headgaskets can seem complicated but they're not really. They can be done pretty quickly with practice too. The only bit I felt iffy about was dropping the head back on, afraid i was going to damage the mating face or smash a valve.

Crack on with it, few hours will see you good, then you'll be loving it Smile


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 06-07-2013

Its getting hdi rods this week aswell, i'll be pretty confident in its reliability then, might get a bit skimmed off the pistons aswell to bring the cylinder pressures down a bit, not sure yet.


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - puglove - 06-07-2013

I had the above PAS pump issue , but the removal of mine was much easier, well it looked easier when I seen it bouncing down the road in my rear view any way lol

HAHA! Thats cool man, I atleast had to remove the bolts :/


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - Tom - 12-07-2013

Might aswell update this, will just bullet point the main things because i cba with a huge paragraph!

Got the old head off, turns out i broke it so needed new.
Bought a second hand engine cheap, took the head off sent it to machine shop.
Should get the head back today hopefully. New gasket and bolts and new headset, the machine shop are rebuilding the head aswell so they will replace all the seals in there!
Very disappointed in someone on here who promised to send me rods on monday and didnt even send them til thursday so now im stuck waiting! So if they dont show up today i doubt they be delivered on a saturday so that means i will of had to wait a week for them which isnt cool.
Couple pics here to show what state the car is in atm!

Also it is so easy to strip down a bare engine rather than an engine thats in the car!

That is all for now! Any members are welcome to come and aid putting it back together!


RE: Hunter continued with a td04! - ginge191 - 12-07-2013

Looking very sory for itself. Should be worth it once it's all back together ThumbsUp

also; who did you buy the rods from out of interest?
