Chatter / Meth

« Last post by BANDIT2 on July 01, 2025, 03:06:08 PM »

Got no meth left, used to use sidwel
And nigelb.  When I say I've got non I mean I've got around 150ltrs but I'm having trouble with it, got it off a Facebook group ages ago and I suspect its a barrel of that wank stuff trinity were knocking out a few years back?
I'm in telford, anywhere or anyone localish to me where I can get some , enough to make a 180ltr batch so I can drive over to nigelb place of work if they still do it. I'll be texting him shortly to find out.

Vehicles / Re: Mercedes W202 saddle tank sump solution?

This has apparently troubled many people (not just veggers) if looking at the various fora is anything to go by, and now I've bought a second-hand sender the solution seems so simple that all my head-scratching is ... comical. Of course, I could be wrong and if so I'll let you know, though the post I write may be unpublishable for the cursing.
On both this & the left hand sender already on my car I'll remove the internal feed tube & cut the black plastic tube which leads to the external feed about 10 mm above the base plate, fit twin left-hand senders, & link them  with a T barb to the normal feed line.

Finally got the glow plugs out today. Been spraying WD for weeks. I took my time going back and forth and with each nervous turn, the 2 seized ones finally came out. Both were dead.

So I did a compression test and got the following 460, 380, 390 and 400. The 2 dead glow plugs came out of 2 and 4 (380 and 400).

I didn't do a wet compression test with oil as I read it could severely damage an diesel engine

I've always thought water injection should be after the turbo as you don't really want droplets of water hitting the turbo that's spinning at very high revs.


Wasn't there a trick with mr muscle to help sticking vanes?
I'm sure it'll be on briskoda if there is.

Don't know what I was thinking, of course the turbo is before the inlet so WI wouldn't do a thing lol
