I am trying to dial in my 200tdi IJ. The issues I'm trying to dial in are the some excessive smoke on start up and smokiness from low end to full power. I have already had to back off the full power adjustment on the back of the pump. For the other two adjustments where is the best place to...

I was running this radiator until last fall when it looked like it developed a pin hole leak. I didnt want to wait to find someone to fix it so I just dropped in a regular radiator. I attached the pics of the leak. I paid $660 plus shipping, I was thinking 200 obo, buyer to pay shipping

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

I'll do a full change this weekend, but the dipstick and oil cap all look good and black

That was my thought too. I just redid the head gasket about a year ago, so I'm hoping it isnt that.

As I was replacing my heater blower motor I had to take off the coolant overflow bracket and when I peaked in it was surprised to find that it is empty. I havent seen any visible leaks. All the hose clamps look good and tight. The overflow tank is aluminum so it isnt split and the over flow...

I apologize in advance for the jv nature of this post. I?m replacing the switch on my ?85 110 and for the life of me I can?t get the connectors to fully seat. I have tried warming up the new connector and have verified there is nothing blocking the pins. Any ideas?

Understood. I'll work on timing it using a dial indicator.

Thanks Doug. I'll verify the timing this weekend. In terms of turning the engine to lock in the fly wheel pin what method do people recommend? I've read a breaker bar on the crank bolt or 5th gear and rotate the tires. After that the process seems straightforward.

Thanks Red. I was aware it wasn't a wastegate, but I didn't know how else to refer to it. Is actuator or diaphragm a more accurate descriptor? Assuming there is no boost leak, which from my testing there isn't and the turbo is functioning properly what is my next move? Verify the timing is...

Ok. I'll double check in the morning. By full open are you meaning the rod is maxed out and no longer moving? Also, would a waste gate actuator failing in the manner manifest it self with high EGTs?

Well I goofed on the boost leak tester. I should have ordered the next size down. So I'm in the process of swapping that out this weekend. I also tested the wastegate. From what I can tell the arm isn't moving until 15ish psi. I was under the impression there would be some movement from the...
