10/12/2023: Minor Overhaul

Off the back of the turbo removal, I took it upon myself not only to replenish the fasteners and gaskets but to replace the injector looms along with breather pipes etc etc… why? Well why not. I know most will argue if it’s not broke, why you fixing (replacing) it. Preventive maintenance and mitigating further components failure. Here’s the list of parts replaced.

Injector Wiring Harness - TD5: AMR6103G

Gasket-Turbocharger: PNT100030

Exhaust Gasket and Nuts - TD5: PM303

Washer-Sealing: ADU6847L

Screw: FS106167L

Gasket: ERR6768G

Cam Cover Gasket - TD5 (LATE): LVP000020LR

Isolator: ERR7266

Screw Flanged: FS106307L

Hose-Breather-Cam Cvr Tube: LLH500180LR

Valve: LLN100140LG

Nut - (Flanged): LR019197LR

Screw-Flanged Head M6 X 12: FS106127L

Front Camshaft Oil Seal - TD5: LDI100030

Plastic clip: PRC3180

Annoyingly it started to rain, and I didn’t fancy waiting another day for the sake of a drizzle even if that drizzle felt like -5 degs C, anyway all parts that required swapping out were straight forward. When replacing the front cam cover gasket, take care removing it, avoid using screw drivers to pry it out. I have seen on the internet pesky cowboy mechanics silicone’ing the cap in place to stop the leak instead of spending £5-15 (brand depending).

At some point I’d like to swap out the injector seals and check clearances. The 90 is a tad tappier than the 110. Be interested to know the condition of the hydraulic lifters.
