I did not know that :-[
with no intercooler , and no hope of ever getting to the back of the engine ;D
It is a very good engine
just the rest of the car that's pants :D

The 2.0 Hdi 90 never got an intercooler,the 110bhp version did but was never fitted to the picasso,the later 1.6Hdi was available with both outputs :y

i'm not buying any more crapassos ,even if the engine has 10 million BHP ;D
I know of a good low mile one ,just had the water pump and full cam belt kit done etc if your interested
just needs a gearbox ,clutch,wiring looms :P

So I did get the sump plug out , thank you mole grips ;D
the cheapo oil filter socket set turned up on time and surprisingly good quality for £10 delivered :)
had to remove the EGR plug to comfortably get the oil filter out and new one in ,
the haynes joke book says 5.4 L or 5 L with filter ;D
stripped the front brakes and lubed the guides etc
ordered new front and rear brake pads and discs £71 delivered
(scored,uneven wear, lipped, probably the original discs)
wheel bearing with speed sender £30 delivered
fitted new wiper blades on the front ,dunno what they are meant to be but the pair of 24" ones I had spare (wrongly ordered for crapasso) fit and clear more screen than what ever was on (which where clearly the wrong size)
rear wiper was suffering the missing half the screen fault, so a new arm and blade ordered £10 delivered
air and oil filter was £8 delivered , new sump plug £2
last of my trade club oil , about £11 worth
brake fluid i have in stock
so, not very expensive to service it up
not that I will be footing the bill anyway ;D
In other news ,the clutch cowboys asked if they could recover the crapasso to head office to "see what had happened "
er......... NO >:(
if they wish to inspect it , they can come and look , under my supervision. ;D
dave the builder:
Cleaned up and lubed the rear brakes, Replaced the pads and discs, pumped the brakes ....HIssssssss
Hard brake pipe near spare wheel had split, rusted under a plastic clip
I replaced the line from nipple to nipple with copper :y
Broke 2 wheel braces trying to get the front o/s wheel off :(
(i'd stripped and cleaned the N/s last week and decided to order discs and pads all round )
stripped and cleaned the brakes, fitted new discs and pads
bled the brakes ,pulled through to clear fluid
what a stupid place to put the brake reservoir ::)
treated and undersealed around the subframe to chassis rail mounts
found the track rod end boot split, no play, so that can wait till MOT prep in march :P
Replaced the rear wiper arm, ariel, new battery in the remote
My brother popped round while i was finishing it off ,putting tools away, and now he wants a Zafira too now ::)
(his astra g estate is due for retirement, it's 20 years old now)
looking at the 1.7cdti zaf b (55 mpg :-X ) as a replacement for the astra estate
