Managed to do air filter I found I had enough room without drilling a hole the old filter wasn’t looking the best so are there any other easy jobs I can do to clean up the engine I’ve done oil and filter and all other filters I have Also today taken trumpets off and clean all of them and the box ect I did atempt the EGR valve but the alley key bolt seams rounded slightly so I’ll get a good quality alley key to try it again

Prob next step would be take headliner completely out and also after advice on rear drain points do I need to take rear bumper off to locate them all advice really grateful and when I eventually get it sorted it may help others lol

Hi rich if it’s parked uphill all is good but if on downhill that’s when it starts or after being left on flat all day if I turn left into roundabout it’s ok bit if I turn right then water trickles out of front left corner or brake hard at downhill junction
-
Well I just got in car and it’s been dripping in same corner so I got home opened sunroof up and feed a wire each side and all is clear I then filled the tray up and tested each side with water and all ran out of A pillar drain points great also no leaks on corner headliner now I’m really confused lol it’s testing me I also poured water on top of screen also on the sunroof with no leaks in that corner but when that car has been standing all day in rain and I turn right the left corner drops water which has built up somewhat mmm
After doing the above I drove car and when I braked at junction it dropped water again from that corner are there drain holes at the rear or any other drain tunes anything else I can check next
-
Regarding the EGR when you say on list of jobs do you mean take off and clean
-
I’ve cleaned my drain hole and tested and water drains out of drain point as in picture about the leak I’ve found is the underside of sunroof black plastic tray towards the inner sunroof the front left corner towards top inner tray situated above the front blue drain pipe anybody know if water should in first place be on top inner tray if so does this side of tray drain. Off to back drain holes
sorry anout decription when I say top of tray it’s the part when you open sunroof it’s the first bit of tray you see and the lower part is towards windscreen if this helps lol
-
Yeah got cam belt job booked in next week I’ll mention other jobs to
