film editing is so much fun as you don’t have to actually show you
struggling to remove and re-installing the air filter cover as there is no
room to carry out this process…my suggestion is to remove the head light
and remove the turbo pipe making it so easy to carry out process and NO
MORE SWEARING at your van.
iv just baught a k&n filter for my dads sprinter lwb 2.2 311 cdi will it
make any differenc e besides bit more hp
i have a lot of time as i snaped my leg racing motocross so lots of time
not that much money but the sport looked gud getting nice n dirty on a
saterday sunday lol but i will keep posted on the van and the landy will
sort out a cam but wont be for a few month as my dads at the moment
building a 80ft garage and i need to get a pit sorted and car lift but will
keep posted m8 where are you by the way
check the wires to the boost control solenoid behind the osf headlamp they
often chafe or corrode leading to no turbo boost.i hope this is of help 2u
Sounds good, keep me posted with the results… 🙂
and my dads van fan has a mind of its own it works in the warm ish weather
but wen its cold and windows steamy it doesnt it actully works wen you dont
want it to and doesnt wen you do haha
Hi Bevion, My 416CDI is lacking some power so somebody suggested I add some
injector cleaner to the fuel and also replace the Air Filter which is where
your “How to” has come in really handy. If this doesn’t fix the problem its
off to the diesel engine doctor next week. my 416CDI is a 2005 model and is
the chassis for our motorhome and only done about 28,000Klms. Usually it
does a brilliant job but I am sure it will be up and running as usual soon.
Thanks again for the “How to”
thanks can you make a id of how to change it just taking on new project as
well restoring a 91 land rover defender landy cost 500 fuly working
starting a little hobby on sundays 4x4ing very fun you should try it as you
look prity handy with tools watch afew 4×4 is born and get a bit of a head
start
I wouldn’t have thought so, but I’ve really no idea if Im honest with you.
Thanks for watching.
Hi there. I have found your video’s very helpful. Well done With the air
filter Is there a granulated cartridge that needs to be replaced in the
compressed air drier.
I am running a vito 110cdi -02 plate. and am about to perform an oil
change. to be fair i have let it go a little tp long maybe 12000 miles over
service schedule. anyway what oil do you recommend i use.? have 83000 on
clock. thanks for the service light reset vid and fuel filter vid.
@TheFrytol Thank you. There was no compressor on my van so no filters in
relation to this to change. Thanks for asking 🙂
Bloody eck wish I had an 80 foot garage and a Pit to work in, that would be
awesome, I hate tinkering in the cold weather nowadays.. Hope the leg gets
better soon, keep YouTubing.. 🙂
thanks and i hate working in cold wether thats y there heating in as well
oo and theres gunna be a nice big tv and sky up stares so i can say im goin
to work on landy and chill out in stead of listening to my mum moan lol and
my dad got his own building company thats y he likes big garages lol
PS…How dirty you think an Air Filter has got to be before it effects the
running of the vehicle.?? How ofter do you change your Air filter??
@bobski1976 Well I always used Comma 10W40 semi synthetic oil myself – I
used to change mine every 10,000 miles religiously, both oil & filter. I
then changed the diesel fuel and air filters every 30,000 miles
religiously. My van had clocked up 300,000 miles when I got rid of her, and
I had no problems other than fair wear and tear.
@103964988 My pleasure 🙂
Hi Bevion, Whats the hum in the background? Do you live close to a motorway?
My camera seems to pick up what seems like lots of noise, there are things
going on around in the back ground at the moment.
Awsome! Thank you
Great video: very helpful to see it done. They don’t make it easy to get
the lid out, do they?! Question about the heat shield – my 903 hasn’t got
one (not since I bought it 2nd hand). Is that a problem? What’s it
protecting?
I’ve just changed mine in the last few weeks. Had to buy a new heater
blower cost about ÂŁ75 not original part for that money. Only 3 screws hold
it in, dead easy to do. The fuses are situated on the steering column, just
look below the steering wheel, you’ll see a screw, just twist it and pull
the cover off. Underneath you will see all the fuses. Good luck.
@bobski1976 and oh yeah should i run a oil cleaner product throught the
system for a week before i attempt the change?
@bobski1976 Well thats up to you, I myself never did any of that stuff, and
I have no idea if it does any good or not, all I can say to you is, don’t
ignore your oil changes, keep on top of it and do it regularly. Good luck
🙂
or8 agen bevoin1970 just wanted to ask where are the fuses on this van
please got problem with heater not working if you know any thing about this
m8
no problem m8
Here’s my tip. I change my engine oil and filter every 10,000 miles
regardless. I change my diesel fuel filter and air filter every 30,000
miles regardless. It’s stood me in good stead I reckon. Sorry I don’t know
what any of these figures are in Kilometres.
ill try it anyway its the big k&n induction kit with little elecy super
charger
Thanks for that tip, I’ll try to remember that myself.
No nothing is ever easy when trying to tinker under the bonnet of your
motor. It seems almost everything is in the way at some stage or other..lol
This heat shield covers the turbo area, so I suppose if you don’t have one,
and everything is running ok, just cary on. You could always try and
purchase one from a breakers yard perhaps if need be, otherwise ignore it.
will do pal if it all works out ok you should get one cheeper than genuine
filters in the long run there washable soo there good and cost 20 quid and
bit more hp
Yes I’ve seen that show, was very good. I quite fancied that 4×4 when he’d
finished it, as for me I just don’t have the time , space or money to throw
at it, I would enjoy the sport itself though. Have fun doing it, Im sure
you will.. 🙂
