quick question for you all. because your all so helpful and loving helping ppl. lol.

i cleaned my dv yesterday when i done my bypass. took it completely apart and cleaned using wd40. do i have to grease the piston part in it or does it stay dry. i have no idea as there was some black oil in it which i thought might have come from some where else. would this make it give out a strange noise?

You need to use high temp grease on all moving parts, basically around where the o-rings are trying to make the seal.

You'll find the boost acting up if theres no grease or the wrong grease as the piston tends to stick.

it tends to sound more like a rubbing noise than a nice smooth sound. Cheers phil. Will have a look at what i got in the shed.

i have tried to grease up my dv but still sounds like its rubbing. It sounds nice with boost on low rev's but as soon as i boot the car it sound's like its stabbing bad. Is there any chance i could of ruined it when it was dry? It is on the right was as well

VT wishbone bush to replace my **** powerflex bushes. Going on sunday along with the wheel studs and a few other things

You still wanting those stainless bolts?

devine: what grease did you use, ideally it should be castrol red rubber grease.

 

[PhilW]

Do a leak back test on it as well.

TCS light and EML staying on constantly today

ahwell still runs ace and saves me having to switch the TCS off myself lol

 

[mr_D]

i used a castrol high temp grease. It was clear but the lid of the pot was red. lol. Might just buy a new one.

 

[mr_D]

i have done the leak test and it doesn't leak!

 

[jivejester]

I had problems using LM grease, so then tracked down red rubber grease. I got a 500ml tub if you want some.

If your gunno buy another, get a chinese copy from the 'bay. I've had one for 6 months and its identical to the forge 007p i sold, albeit 30 quid cheaper!

Just ordered me a black apexi avcr ebc

 

[mr_D]

i know my signature say's different but i think i got a chinese copy already as there was no stamp on it with any brand name. I was lied to! Tut tut.

Matt yours did sound nice the other day mind. Might take a little look on there now.
