Omega General Help / Re: oil cooler pipes on 2.5 tdi
« on: 01 May 2010, 20:00:15 »
Same thing happened to me
The Oil is under pressure & you must use steel piping accoding to my mechanic
Vx changed the pipes & fittings at one time & the earlier ones are no longer available, so you have to change both pipes & all of the bracketing that support them
I was quoted £60+ for a single pipe so managed to get a complete set with all of the fittings from a breaker on e-bay for £20
Mine leaked where it had rubbed as it passed through the body. I was told that had it failed all of the oil would have been dumped very quickly & bye-bye engine
Have never been able to clean up my drive!
P.S. I have pdfs of both the earlier & later types so can e-mail them to you as attachments if you PM me with your normal e-mail address

..........to fit air con to a Traktor without it?

Groan!QuoteIf straight agri diesel (red here, green in your neck of the woods) then runs fine. (fine? see what I did there??)Quoteholy jasusQuoteDon't get caught
In mainland UK its the car hooked to a pound, £500 minimum plus daily storage before release, then the last 3 years possible/probable consumption calculated and duty payable on that volume thereafter. As I recall.....but yet no hassle on engine?
If its kero or a kero mix then, I'm told, it runs hotter and you risk valve etc burnout as a result.
But mine is petrol, so not talking from experience!

Omega General Help / TDs in the south
« on: 21 April 2010, 19:13:20 »
I have asked this question some time ago, but are there any Traktors in the locality of Basingstoke/ north Hampshire or do I have the only one?
I have never seen another on the road since I got mine in 2003
Can they be that rare in the south of the country?

The replacement which has just failed (in the Brackley triangle) was new about 5 years & 50K miles agoQuoteOut of curiosity, has anyone else had this pipe fail twice (or even once for that matter)?When I got my tractor, it had previously failed at engine end, and been bodged up (and sesequently failed again). Put one on from scrappy, never failed again.
Both of mine have been at the end bolted to the EGR

Well the bracket's there (strapping it to another pipe)QuoteDiesels use EGRs more than petrol to gain cruising economy (rather than pure emissions).I'll check for the bracket
PF - the pipe is joined at either end, but also bracket in middle near vac pump - your bracket still in place.
I **may** have one in garage, if so its yours if ever you pass (or we can arrange OOF postal service)
Ironically it failed last night as I was driving along the A43 just as I was passing the Brackley turn-off on my way to a gig in Northampton. I'll check in the morning with VX to see whether one is still available & how log it would be & get back to you if you do actually have one.
BTW is a BMW or Range-Rover pipe going to be identical?
Is there a design fault as it's now failed twice, or something more sinister afoot?

Omega General Help / TD EGR pipe
« on: 18 April 2010, 11:21:31 »
This is the stainless steel (I think) pipe that bolts to a flange on the O/S of the engine
Mine has fractured again at the point where it is attached to the engine
As this the the second time it's broken could there be a specific reason or is it just a design weakness?
How necessary is EGR on a tractor? I notice in the Range-Rover engine manual that there were versions without EGR
Anybody got a spare one before I trek of to the VX dealer?
