QuoteI think the heads will stay where they are!
It cant be a bent valve, the compression is to good.
This, allied to the stiffness in rotation, does still suggest FOD inside trying to prevent valve opening fully.
Although being aware of you guys' professionalism, I do not think this can be the answer. :-/

Why not try splitting a rubber hose lengthwise and clamping over the leak with jubilee clips? A quick fix if it works.

Hi
Just wondering what sort of job the fan belt is to change on the 2.5td.
Mine looks pretty worn so if its not a big job might aswell change it.
Cheers

Omega General Help / Re: td gearbox update
« on: 30 April 2010, 15:13:39 »Quote
Has anyone had the gearbox ecu updated on a tractor(2.5td) if so was there any difference in dropping 2 gears going uphill.
not to bothered about economy getting about 54mpg breifly on a flat bit off motorway at 55 (lol) normal 26-37mpg
TB updated mine with Tech2, and it certainly does not change quite so eagerly on accel. Check here: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1265029420

« on: 13 April 2010, 18:55:21 »
You will be advised not to chip until you have replaced the AR25 with an AR35, as the AR25 will not take the increased torque for long. I am a bad example, as I have done 28000 since chipping, and still on the original AR25. However, I now have an AR35 as a standby.
As you are dropping the box anyway, it makes sense to replace it with an AR35.

A 'How to' would be helpful by the sound of it.

QuoteQuoteThat's probably around the right MPG for a TD tractor auto on a combined cycle. Chipping, in my experience, upped MPG by around 15% (actual), but made the FC inaccurate (over read by around 10% as a guess).
Chipping mine definitely reduced my MPG by about 10%, but as you say the computer says it is better - it lies!
Yes definitely here as well, also clouds of black smoke from exhaust when I booted it, well more than should be.
Anyway chip removed....better mpg, smoke almost unnoticeable. Back to normal, slug like acceleration
Apparently I may have had the wrong chip, so will investigate that one

I don't suffer from that, just slightly on hard accel., and even that has reduced since giving it the 'diesel magic' treatment.
