broken off

 

That one.

[El Andrew]

Ta. I should try and find an old pic and see if it was broken before the workshop fitted the oil line.

There's enough there that I can probably cable tie the lines to what's left of the bracket.

[Puffwagon]

There are clampy bits to hold oil or water lines but I can't remember what they are called. You could use a couple of those to keep it neat.

 

I probably should do that too but it's not my top priority atm so I don't really remember to do it.

It's been to two and both have had the turbo off 

I'm not going to know for sure which one 

But they've both let me down significantly previously 

I'll take some happy snaps tonight

Just tried it & either they're all noisy or it's something else. Any one got any idea on my mysterious ticking noise? Been able to hear it idle outside the car for ages but only recently have I been able to hear it while driving when putting the foot down.

 

 

did you suss out this ticking?

 

mine makes the same noise just thought it was normal

[bupalooga]

Naa never did, Its just become a regular noise that I'm immune to now

Also I stripped one of those long bolts super easy ages ago when I put this bracket thingy on & just swapped them out for slightly longer hex bolts

[MattyP]

Which ones mate

[El Andrew]

Trans cooler arrived today. Just need to pick up some fluid and a filter today. Taking a bit longer to get into reverse these days, so gonna give it some love.

Tried to fix my ongoing exhaust clunk last night, but reckon I've made it worse. Still not sure if the rear hangers are hitting each other or if the twin 2.5" x-force is struggling to clear the diff cradle. Might head out for another look.

Stripped down my hotside of my car, preparing to pull engine out. I really hate working on cars.
