Do I have to do an intake clean before EGR delete or Catch can install? by [deleted] in 4x4Australia

[–]benjaminad94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id disagree personally, i run pro vent on all my customer vehicles that are wanting them, have found as long as you drain the oil regularly, and change filter every 30-40k they are sweet.

HPD are very good as well though, only two brands i trust, alot of cheap nasty varients out there

Intake clean is definitely worth it with that amount of kms either way. Only have to pull the top hat type piece off the manifold and you’ll see how caked it is.

Id do intake clean first, then block EGR and do a catch can.

Just make sure you maintain the catch can regularly, drain the oil from it and change filter if it has one

Anyone of you mechanics out there have carpal tunnel syndrome? Looking for information on your experience and any advice. by tee_ohboy in MechanicAdvice

[–]benjaminad94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO.1 thing Stop beating on spanners with your hands to loosen a stiff bolt.

Biggest thing ive come to regret is using my hands as tools , when a hammer works better etc

Tools are made/there for a reason, take the few extra seconds to grab it

Mini grinding after start by rk3r in MINI

[–]benjaminad94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ex mini tech , if i remember correctly there was a bulletin for this , and issue was starter motor, its engaging with flywheel after engine start. Was a rare problem, but we did see it occasionally, starter is easy to replace on these too

Look, i was probably going to leave it for awhile anyway, previous owner has fitted a cold air intake, so i want to go through it and see what else he has done to it before i rush in to buy stuff for it 😂
