Oh in that case all the Siggy A with the 2.0CDTi are prone to the seal issue

For peace of mind I'm doing mines every 50k or 5 years and treating it like a serviceable part like timing belt etc.
Oil change every 5k or 6 months which ever first.

Welcome, nice headlights!

Au contraire, Marko, I think the photo is of Rab performing the Heimlich manoeuvre on you to dislodge a piece of DFMB from your gullet

Trust me....I'm a first aider....that's no heimlich maneuver. There's murder in those eyes. It's surprising how frustration affects some people.

People are coming out left, right and centre these days....it's no difference where the wheel colour is concerned. It was so liberating when I went black!

Live and let live is what I say... even if you have some strange views on wheel colour

i did the oil pick up seal just as a precautionary measure mate

Nice wheels

[shaunc3160]

Hi Shaun,

Yeah I like it with the black wheels....Shows you had some good taste...What went wrong? Nah. I like the way you steer away from diamonds cut. Common as muck those things. I get a little upset when they take the p!ss out of my liking for black wheels on a red, white or light silver car but then I remember they're just a bunch of mindless lemmings and I feel better. Love the grey 5 spokes! Are they your current wheels?

i still have the gunmetal 5 spoke 20,s, brought them brand new but took them off for winter, they are still as new i am unsure what to do with them at the mo as i like the black 20,s again. they were diamond cut when brand new but i sprayed them black for a change

i fitted my venom hybrid turbo and teapot did me my mapping, we have finally realised how to map in the 4 bar t map sensor in on the edc17 ecu, my boost is spiking at 2.8bar now and settling out at a sustained 2.6 bar, she flies

What hp output you getting?

[shaunc3160]

ive owned mine for over 2 years now but not done the oil seal, its not been a problem yet, i do regular oil changes and i have had the regen system deleted ,i heard its the regen system that causes the oil seal th break down, because there isnt much indication that the a20dth is actually in regen mode and we turn them off when part regen is dun then the extra diesel the car uses to do the regen gets dumped into the sump causing the oil seal to break down.............so i heard anyways

[shaunc3160]

What hp output you getting?

i havent had it dyno,d mate so dont want to start throwing silly numbers about but i would say 230hp plus, the turbo is built for fast road and track use and it capable of taking 260bhp,teapot wants to do a live mapping once we get chance to get together again, at the mo we are doint it remotley

[Alex421]

Sounding good..
Looking forward to seeing the results you get, if you don't mind me asking how much was your turbo an was it an exchange basis?
