Hi guys, just got my first TD42 TD-6 intercooled GU3 wagon. 2004 model
Car has only done 160,000km and has only ever towed, after having a ore inspection done on purchase was told the injector pump has been wound up a little and the boost has been tweaked up a little, car goes quite well, feels rather powerful for a td42.
After doing heaps and heaps of reading about how to best preserve my motor and its life, I've heard here and thee that a EGR block is essential for economy and longevity as well as boost earlier, and have also read that any motor that has extra boost requires a oil catch can to minimise oil going into the cooler.
Can someone please shed some light on this for me..... Am I being led up the garden path for $$$ of mods that aren't nescessary or should I definately do these mods to get the most out of my engine and get best economy?
Any help would be appreciated.
regards
Simon
