no difference in the way it drives just good to know all that soot/oil isn't going into the engine
blocking the EGR at the manifold and at the valve end was noticeable.

At this moment the front bumper is off , i repared it , and paint in black (Raptor) the bottom and the middle





I have to also make an estimate to repaint the upper part in white

hey mate... nice paj...

what sort of paint did you use to paint the bumper? is 'raptor' a brand?

are you happy with the finish of the paint?

[Fbo974]

Hi Paceman ,
Sorry for the late answer , Raptor is a bed liner paint , and a lot of peoples use it everywhere on the body .
i did the rear wheel cover too , and later the wheel arches i did that to protect from scratches

Hi there

it had been a while since I had not come here .

So , i 've waiting months to have my front bumper painted , from may to..... october 2019..... ,but I did not pay anything, because of the delay



Wheels arches painted with bedliner paint (Raptor) , led lights hidden behind front bumper grill , US style license plate , oil change because 6month without running .

I need to repair a little intercooler leak on intake side , put the lower engine guard in place , and i waiting for my front shocks (drivetech4x4) which are in customs bloked in Paris ........

[Fbo974]

I also did a little beauty to the engine protection, it's not too bad, compared to what it was



The rendering, is really cool, it's supposed to be resistant, I'll see in time what it gives



have a nice day guyz

I received this from Germany this afternoon



As soon as arrived and put them on , but I was expecting something better

Then, still this afternoon, I repaired my intercooler leak



I asking myself , how the previous owner did that



I tried to straighten everything, with what I had as tool



and the other side



Tonight everything is clean and reassembled , and test drive the car , all is okay ......well almost

[Fbo974]

it's been 3 days that I have the engine light on .

No loss of power, the vehicle is working very well, and tonight I went to diagnose the car

And this is what i have



So tomorrow , i will check the swirl valve vaccum , wiring , relay etc etc .

If you have ideas, I'm interested

Looks like you’ve got a nice shorty.

If you’re planning any sort of off-road driving, I would strongly suggest you consider replacing the factory intercooler guard with an aftermarket one. The factory one is thin and soft meaning that the intercooler is extremely vulnerable to damage.

In Australia, most go for Boo’s or Bushskinz guards but there are other suppliers that you may be able to access locally.

I received my shocks today


they cost me 320€ , including delivery fees and customs , I was interested in the Bilstein, but it was just off budget ( 600++€) .

doing the job was not very difficult


The shocks had 12y.o


Dashcam installed too


For my engine light (P2009) , MAP sensor is okay , and MAP vaccum cleaned , no problem from here.
The swirl valve is not blocked on manifloyd , vaccum lines okay , vaccum from pump okay , the problem seems to be the swirl valve solenoide , no vaccum from there to control the valves ......

[Fbo974]

P2209 Problem solved , this part was faulty


In the middle of decembre , 200K kms on the clock


and us style lights (orange)

[Fbo974]

I take advantage of having my intake dismantled to also adjust the rocker arms, I also received (ordered in February, received at the end of June) my fuel return line .


a little bit of cleaning here


If I have time tomorrow, I'll clean the rocker cover


The seals should arrive within a week in principle
