C3peteo Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hi, my sdi is on 174k miles now. Do people drop the sump and clean out the oil pick up pipe on lupos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Only the inlet plenum. Blocking off EGR and oil fumes. Divert oil fumes down to the road with a piece of electrical conduit... looks OEM. service the gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divert oil fumes down to the road with a piece of electrical conduit... looks OEM. service the gearbox. Gearbox was rebuilt last year so the oil should still be good. I have the egr blank, which pipe carries the oil fumes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Valve cover to inlet plenum. Block plenum hole. Add conduit to valve cover. I use 50mm glue lined heatshrink to join conduit to fume pipe (cut end off first). I'd still wash out the inlet with thinners (works better than petrol).

C3peteo Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Have you got a pic of your engine bay? That would really help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy_PD Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 This would be quite helpful to me right now, I'll be blanking the egr, cleaning out the intake and removing those trumpets some time soon. Do all egr blanking plates work? I don't see any for 1.7sdi specifically, just a load of 1.9tdi ones. Also pictures of this plumbing work would really help, my sdi done nearly 170k so I've just changed both wishbones, all suspension, all bushes, all brakes, tyres.. time to work on clearing up engine/gearbox components and making this as reliable as possible! Thread resurrect!! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I'll try and post that "how-to" I've been talking about tomorrow. Edit- It's now in the how-to section. Done :) Edited April 4, 2020 by mk2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
