Hi folks, My short pipe with couple of bends in it which goes to inter cooler from EGR valve not to sure if it's the EGR valve it goes to. But it's split again it's the third one now. I know it's a common fault with them but only bought it about 4 months ago and it should split by then...

Yes on this type you can't put a blanking plate on!! This is how who ever did it before I bought the van they turn it about as that's what they did block it this way because of the way the holes are! I am thinking the turbo boost pipe is split or the senser is needing replaced. Any other...

Hi guys, Thank for info. But when I do fixs the EGR it will sort out the smoke side of it but won't sort out the problem what happens when you rev it and hold it at 2650 revs. As for engine lights on well none have came on until last night the stop light and engine light when I was holding it...

I have a 03 master van, I stuck in £15 of deseil in it and driving fine, until you boot it a bit and about 2600 revs it's wants to go but like holds back. Now when it sits and you rev to about 2500/2600 and hold it on it it drops down revs like not enough fuel. Then when I started it after few...

Thanks for that bit of help there, Just another couple of wee questions. So if the towel rail is the same size is it just a cause of undoing the bolts on each side of the heater (ob the heater side of the valve) with the control valve on off and undo the bolts? Which means with the heater...

Yeah, it's a en-suit bathroom massive heater in the bedroom and the heater is not on much a tall, just to warm up the towel. The bathroom is roasting all the time with the heat of the bedroom. So won't have that problem. Plus there is no space for both like you said. Thanks for that bit of infO...
