KKtrips Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I keep forgetting to quiz the diesel team on this. Diesel turbo - 2 out of 3 times when pulling away from a fully stationary in 1st or 2nd I get like a tiny stumble surge. Almost imperceptible but my mechanical rage feels it. Once I am moving along and driving it is fine until the next set of lights/intersection. Is it possible that the aneroid valve could be sticky and what I'm feeling is the fuel rack moving suddenly?

punkoutnz Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Either that or you have a sticky EGR valve. My terrano did that when I first got it till I disconnected that pesky valve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea - will disconnect that tonight and see if it makes any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm surprised you haven't plated up the EGR stuff already! horrible shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 EGR can gtfo. Remove it and then wack a can of seafoam or similar to clear out all the carbon from the intake system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfashark Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Is that wagon of yours fancy computer controlled spec or rotary pump style? I plugged a VCDS scanner into the Skoda and disabled the EGR for exactly this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plugged a VCDS scanner into the Skoda and disabled the EGR for exactly this reason. She's a mechanical pump. I checked it out tonight but could not see the EGR valve so I suspect it's a wait till I jack it up and look from underneath jobby. Motherfucker was way too hot to fondle around looking for it by feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Tell me more about the Seafoam? Is it legit or witch magic? Actual experience not what you've heard. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Seafoam spray is awesome for direct injection petrol motors. I have never used it on a diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 yeah you don't wanna run it through a running diesel. apparently it's lush for cleaning crud out of manifolds once you have them off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocky41 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yip i have one customer that swears by it - buys it by the box load for diesels - better mileage etc - only as a fuel additive - there is also a transtune one thats a run and dump - also seems to work. Fuel Treatment is around $20 at BNT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks chaps, I think if I do buy it, I'll just chuck it into the fuel over a couple of top ups. I am not so sure on putting additives that are thinner than oil into oil and then not draining them soon after. Definitely agree with not chucking it down the throat of a running diesel. I think you would hear the sound of my hand slapping my face from another country when it all went wrong. I think if I was to be using it with the intent of getting better mileage it would have to be pretty substantial improvement. It costs $30 and that is 20 odd litres of diesel. So I would need to see 300 more better mileage per bottle of seafoam - not sure how fast I would go through a bottle before needing to buy another. My sole intent would be to clear out the carbon from the inlet and lube up the pump and injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Get the Threebond super engine conditioner spray for blasting in the manifold. Cleans carbon off bloody amazingly. Use it outside coz car will chuck a lot of smelly smoke for a few minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
