You didn't waste much time geting those on John Sound very useful though - for those of you with 2.5's

Peter.

Peter that is just looking through the file and noting some that caught my interest.

[steelcityuk]

There's some interesting titles in there, '2.5TD Engine destruction after service'!

Will you be making those files available on a CD to recoup your costs? If so I'd be interested.

Thanks.

Steve.

Hi Steve

The only game plan at the moment is to collate the list and make up one good set of documents for myself and then see what is left over to dispose off. I am only part way through the first file of bulletins and there is at least another (duplicate) one to go through.
On the 2.5 engine destruction it appears that some dealers used an oil filter wrench that could punch a small disc of metal out of the top of the old filter. This then dropped into the oilway and was locked in place by screwing on the new filter. The engine was then running for a while without oil circulation with inevitable results.
Another one that may interest you is a mod because the air/vac pipe to the little sensor on the centre top of the bulkhead behind the engine can cause power loss as the vac pipe is prone to cracking where it joins the underside of the sensor. The fix was a longer bracket to take the stress off the pipe. None of my 2.5's have ever had this mod.
There is also one that indicates that after replacing an auto box without correctly flushing and cleaning/replacing other components it can lead to debris from the first auto box failure wiping out the new one as well.

Regards

John

Hi John,

Thanks for the info.

If you should create a disc of these please put me down for one.

Steve.

[rowanmoor]

I may be interested in a disc of these too.

Especially '2.5TD Cooling fans random operation - Info-rapid XM 1 No. 77 dated 11 Jan 1996' as I seem to have them randomly coming on when they shouldn't or doing a stop/start dance after turning the engine off. I think it may be related to the random flickering of the temp lights that is unrelated to engine temp that I get sometimes.

I just haven't got round to looking at the relays and connections to even start narrowing it down. If there is an article that says 'it will be this' then that could save a bit of time and inspire me to fix it more quickly.

[terry g]

i will be definitely interested in a file/cd on all the 2.5 stuff £££ or whatever,

[kenhall1202]

Hi Rowanmoor,

Erratic cooling fan behaviour and flickering display sounds familiar. This thread may be of use: http://club-xm.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2719

Hi xmexclusive,

Me too, to buy a copy of your bulletin info if you decide to make it available (although I appreciate it probably involves a lot of work!)
