This is now off the road Sad


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Tom - 10-01-2014

Sad times Sad


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - padge - 10-01-2014

how come?


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 10-01-2014

Got a few bits to sort out and im getting fed up of getting a lap full of water when it rains.

The water leak is first on my list to do. Get everything sorting in time for show season


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - padge - 10-01-2014

keep at it mate.


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 09-02-2014

Haven't really got round to do doing much to this. My first plan is to try and sort my wonderful water leak. When I move the car water seems to piss out of here

So Mark was over today so we dropped the sunroof out to have more of a look

[Image: 5DD2933D-FFD4-4662-8647-8978D62965C5_zps4kbsdpba.jpg]

The roof you can kind of see the channel that the water seems to be coming out which is the channel that the sunroof frame bolts to

The bit of the sunroof that goes against the channel on the roof

[Image: B4B47C96-0E46-4DAB-9CC1-B573B2CA3130_zpsxk6zbd4y.jpg]

I really cant work out how the water is getting into the channel though which is really confusing me Sad

And on other news I got my hands on another XUD engine that was on ebay and local. Its out of a xantia so its a DHX so I guess that's a bonus

[Image: 3BD1E04B-6547-4A54-96AE-EEA3512D8B77_zps0d6gvrih.jpg]

And I started to strip it down

[Image: 339DB7DF-20E8-43B3-A32E-DA874D9FE67E_zpsbdp3wdvx.jpg]

So the plan is to strip it down to a bare block and the rebuild it with hdi rods and new gaskets etc. Then fit it in the car and use this engine as im pretty sure the head gasket is gone on the current engine which I am pretty keen to get apart to find out the issues with it.

I got tomorrow off work so im hopefully going to get my hands on some rods and then will see about sorting all the other bits I need and get rebuilding the engine sometime soon


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - samsdad2011 - 09-02-2014

Good progress mate if there's and bits I can help with let me know


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 09-02-2014

Cheers. Tbh I use dorset auto spares a fair bit for parts as they can get me victor rienz bits that I like to use


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - mikey b - 09-02-2014

Nice update mr frost


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Jimbo - 09-02-2014

Spiffing update sir I must say
Good work!


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - c.gerrard - 09-02-2014

I like it how you point at everything to help the simple minded people like me Big Grin

Bigger turbo on the new engine?

Lol I try to make thing easy for people to understand what im on about lol

Nah not at the moment Sad Maybe in the future though

Cheers guy I will try to push on with the engine and find that pestering water leak.

Also got the driver side door loom to look forward to replacing Smile


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - samsdad2011 - 11-02-2014

We do that brand too if you get stuck mate

Ok that's good to know cuz not that many places do it I think. GSF couldn't get it


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 12-02-2014

On Monday I got some HDi rods ready to go into the engine. Not as easy to get them out as I hoped it would be but got there in the end.

[Image: 61fb5e2a-f00e-4517-9f50-b88577783da6_zpscade74a5.jpg]

The big end shells look pretty good so I plan on reusing them so that will save a few quid

[Image: D8CF90A1-952E-4B54-80DD-DA288F4A9D9D_zpsdxffkkqi.jpg]

Comparing the rod next to a XUD rod. Noticeable difference

[Image: 444B95BD-D691-4482-8B58-6731022992F5_zpsz4gqbrzz.jpg]

I have also got the engine a bit more stripped down. I've got some engine degreaser coming ready to give it a good clean and then be rude not to paint the block Smile

RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 24-02-2014

Right, I have got the engine stand now as jimbo has finish with it as he was rebuilding his engine. So i got the engine onto the stand

[Image: BD6ECCBA-52EE-47DA-BACF-06ADFD74DDF9_zpsoz2rn05a.jpg]

I drained the oil out of it then took the head off and stripped a few other bits off

[Image: 2A6D7687-810D-404F-8425-83510A1949DF_zpsffpfwzmn.jpg]

The head looks pretty clean from the quick look i had at it

[Image: F8B61C72-77D1-4658-9079-9650DCDE2839_zpshsowsmfw.jpg]

And the head gasket. Its a MLS gasket so would that of been standard fitment on this engine?

[Image: 5E4F4F6D-B787-4457-9E6D-8A98D89BC5F9_zpsrjov5ux4.jpg]

Hopefully i will get it stripped a bit more this week and rods out then look about giving the block a lick of paint


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - RetroPug - 24-02-2014

Sorry if I misread somewhere, but are you absolutely sure the sunroof drains aren't blocked?
If they are, the drain pan fills with water and overflows into all sorts of weird places.


Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 24-02-2014

I blown down them with an air line and can hear the air coming out the other end. May try and pour some water down them to make sure though


Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - devils_fuel - 08-03-2014

Nice engine but fixed the water feature yet? lol

I've had a bit of a look but I need to have more of a look tbh. Think half my issue was I used to much sealer when putting the sunroof back in


Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - devils_fuel - 09-03-2014

Is too much sealant possible?


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 09-03-2014

In this case I think yes lol. I got another sunroof to fit at some point and im going to poor water down the drains to make sure there are clear


Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - devils_fuel - 09-03-2014

Or could it be the locating/mounting brackets for the sunroof or the sunroof itself?


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 09-03-2014

The sunroof frame can only go in 1 position though. Its hard to explain in writing what I think the issue is but when I had the sunroof out the other week I couldn't work out how it was getting where the water was coming in from


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 09-03-2014

Well bit of an update. In my spare time I have done a bit more to the engine. I got the pistons out and stripped anything else off the block. Then degrease and clean the block. Then gave it a lick of pain, blue of course.

[Image: 5209DB51-2011-440A-A3FB-B8708AD9F975_zpsxtiwi79u.jpg]

[Image: 298D39E2-30C2-4933-8946-9A4FC4C40FA4_zpsmbd2lulk.jpg]

I got the pistons off the rods and have got a new set of piston rings to fit that I picked up on Saturday. I have clean channels out on the pistons so will prob see about fitting the new rings and getting them on the hdi rods tomorrow night and hopefully get them back in the block this week.

I gave the head a bit of a clean to check it and before I get it skimmed. Pre cups have some cracks but think that is pretty standard issue

[Image: 94579E4A-59F7-4C97-9529-8C6469A27BFD_zpsgvqwmme2.jpg]

Think that's it for now but I hope I can update later in the week


RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - padge - 09-03-2014

RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Tom - 09-03-2014

RE: Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - padge - 09-03-2014

Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo - Frosty - 10-03-2014
