oh no! i must admit I've had a few occasions when i though i fixed it then realised its still booming!! i originally thought it was a resonance changed exhausts engine mounts checked for anything touching etc etc. I'm now convinced it is due to the pressure out the intake! i know its defo not head or valves sticking or weak valve springs as it was all replaced. when the head was off i inspected the cam followers, rollers and brass do da's and there was no wear in them. also checked all the rods for bends. rocker is def sitting tight to head all my collets are in place and I've lost count of how many times i have checked tappet gaps!!!!
took it to a bloke who "new landy's" he had a listen said it was running lovely, starts on the button no smoke blah blah. done a visual timing check (pins in fly and injector pump) said it was right but not had timing cover off for closer look.
i think that will be my next move, but gonna take it to a place called spanner monkeys (pete) who does know landy's and have him replace belts and tensioners etc and take it from there!

I've just changed my water pump this weekend.
your timing belt is hidden! don't worry about it!
personally i wouldn't bother with p gasket if it isn't leaking! I didn't do mine. doing the pump is a quick and easy job.
the only bit that might make it difficult is if any of the bolts have rusted (water from leak can do this) and they snap. to give yourself a fighting chance try and plus gas them a few hours before removal. I also warmed the bolts before attempting to slacken them.

thanks nigel, seem to confirm then there shouldn't be air coming out! lol glads yours is all good!
-
Went for a drive today and the booming under load appears to have gone after replacing manifold gasket
wish mine was that simple! changed mine no difference!
so yours sounds fine now, do we know for definite that tdi's don't all ave a little air coming out at tick over? could other tdi owners maybe open the little rubber drain with there fingers on the filter housing and see if they feel a little air blowing?
-
i thought about it too, but correct me if I'm wrong, if the cam lobes, followers sliders etc were worn, then that would only reduce the amount the valve could open?
our problem must be the valves staying open too long or not fully closing. I've ruled out the not closing on mine as i replaced my full head with a turner AMC.
-
hallelujah!!!!!! someone else has this problem!!!!! I have had this for 2 year and still can't get to the bottom of it! good luck, I will be keeping a close eye on this thread. does yours make a loud resonating boom? mine does
-
Note that Numax is now rebranded as Euroline, otherwise same part numbers, like CVX-X etc.
mine was delivered this week, it is not a euroline!! it is definitely branded as Numax
-
numax cxv27 for me bought from tanya

This thread just keeps on giving... thanks to all who've contributed (retro, cwazy and all the rest).
G-MACK: what tool did you end up using to make your crimps? I'm not keen on spending 30-40£ on a one-off crimper... d'you think can it be done (carefully) with a cheapo pair in combination with a pair of needle pliers?
i just bought the hozan tool cost about £36 delivered i think
-
i went through all this last year, unfortunately it was a cracked head! a small crack was letting water out the jacket and into the exhaust outlet of the head. ran fine. only symptoms were grey smoke pouring out back occasionally and top up water once a week.
-
are the 88 panels hard to come by? i have them in mine but want windows!
-
Excellent
How did you solve your problem with intermittent connection on the instrument warning lights ?
the earth pin was slightly out of line so just carefully straightened it with pliers!!
-
success!!

Right having totally botched my first attempt, this time I followed Paul's instructions for crimping and did it properly.
Every one of them glided into place perfectly!
Now I have new problem.
When I push the connector half way in all the lights work fine. Once connector is pushed all the way in there is nothing!
I guess it's loosing connection somehow.

Doh!!!!!!! Homer Simpson moment!!!!!
Cwazy you were 100% correct about no power to 10 (ign live). Solved it by erm.....

Ok, is the odometer not supposed to be green? If so how do I get it green?
-
the "distant helicopter" sound to me like the air intake noise. stick your ear to the side vent and listen. of course I'm probably wrong!
-
Crimping the terminals onto my Tdi loom was a bugger yes, but got there in the end with perseverance and a lot of fiddling.
worth the hassle though! I'm loving the new clocks! definitely best mod I've done, and its not finished yet either!

Thanks paul, new connectors arrived this morning. the example you sent will help me too. mine didn't look that good on first attempt lol
-
thanks paul. i think i might just use a single colour, as they will be very short runs it won't get too confusing.
