lets have a look at stuff we can see. . .
the engine bay from up topo looks basicaly the same, as the Long Block engine has all of your bolt on ancilleries swapped from the old engine to the new.
so all this is from before.
...
but from underneith it looks a lot shineyer . . .
checking the oil - its so clean you can even see the level. . .
a closer look through the window in the bell housing shows the new DMF too . . .
further back we see the berand new DPF and CAT . . .
...
thats all connected to the rest of the system - ie just the back box left.
its tricky to see the engine block as there is so much stuff wrapped around it. . .
but from this pic, you can see the top of the shiney new Bi-Turbo.
zooming in . . .
..............
i was also left half a bottle of this stuff in the cab, , . .
a quick lookup shows that its a fuel additive. . . they had put in half the bottle, as one bottle does a who tank,
so I've ordered another four bottles from TPS for the next four full tanks of fuel.
i assumed it was for the new engine.
but looking at the paperwork for the new turbo, its part of that work.
either way - new turbo or new engine. been specd and used by VW,
so ill follow there lead and keep adding it in for a while.
5x bottles = 5x 70L tanks of fuel,
to which i do average 400miles/ tank - so that will get me 2000miles bed in period.
them most engines will take 4000miles to 8000miles to properly bed in. - so ill go gentle for the first 4k.
then ill do the 10K oil + Filter change like gospel.
this van i a keeper for me so ill keep to the 10K service intervals from now on.
++++++++++++++++
and sitting in the back of the van is the old turbo. . . its a beast !!
80K on this one and it looks perfect. - no wobble in the spindle or oil leaks.
ill be selling this one as a working unit ready for a direct replacment.
