My daily dustbin is a ZX 1.9 TD, does anyone know where i can download some workshop manual type info as i have a problem.

On the top right of the intercooler (looking from above) is a hole, with a thread (about 10mm), it was whistling from here, loosing boost. obviously there should be something there , but i have no idea what.

As a complete bodge, it has a bolt in the hole at the moment, but i can hear it loosing boost from near the turbo somewhere which i think is where the other end of whatever used to be in the intercooler should be. (if that makes any sense)


Any help appreciated,

Thanks

Andy

I've got a 1993 L plate ZX 1.9TD Volcane sat on the drive if I can help at all...

It's my daily drive as well - keep thinking of changing it, but it keeps on going, and when it does go it goes quite well.... For a French heap of oil burning junk.

Anyway - if you want me to look, take pictures, or anything - let me know...

You sure it's losing boost from there?

If you feel it dropping off after a second or so I'd look at your fuel filter - this needs replaced at each service to avoid fuel starvation at full boost/throttle.

From memory the intercooler has an inlet (or outlet?) at the top right - there should be two allen-key headed bolts in this area (one at either side of the inlet (or outlet! ) and a third over at the left.

MrShades (or anyone else)

Here's some photos of the hole i have plugged to stop it whistling (with the bit of silver rod that you can see)

Anyone any idea what should go in there??

I think i can hear boost leaking from somewhere down the back of the engine.





Cheers

Andy

That hole should not be right through into the manifold!!

what you have done should be fine

I have had lots of turbo diesel 405s 306s etc i dont remember seeing that extra hole !!
