Good Days Work!
« on: 09 June 2007, 20:42:20 »
Well while some are lazing about drinking beer, me and James V6CDX cracked on with an oil cooler change on this latest project of mine.

Started at 11, took our time and finished around 4pm.
Spent the next hour and a half flushing the damn thing!

Job done!  :D

Really not bad to do, no harder than a cambelt change (a lot messier though!).

Oil cooler was completely  :-Xed!

The state of the breathers and throtle bodies was quite something too.
Car was registered on 21st December 1999 and I don't think the breathers had been touched since!  :o

 A tip for anyone having to do the job in future,

Machine Mart "Traffic Film Remover" is bl**dy brilliant stuff! :)
Great at cleaning the goo out of the valley and when put into the coolant, very effective at shifting the digusting stuff.
Done 3 flushes with it already. I will do a couple more to complete the job, but for £5 for 5 litres it is very highly recommended!

Once again, many thanks to James for coming and giving me a hand.  :y
Much quicker job with 2 of you and it was a good education for both of us.

Maybe so, but does your car need much more than that doing to it?  ;)

Thermostat, throttle body clean, find an amp, move the LPG injectors, SW upgrade on box (Jaime), box oil, rear breathers clean (need to remove plenum to do properly)
