Tweaked Tdi & swaybar disconnects.

[natanchris]

I've tweaked my 300tdi in the D1 according to the details on this forum and it is running better with noticeably more go. A hill I couldn't get up while maintaining 60kmh, I now need to back off on....Just installed a EGT gauge/pyrometer to keep an eye on things too. (PM if you want details of this as my supplier is in Melbourne and is a bit cheaper than others i've seen.)

Also made up swaybar disconnects front and rear so we'll see if this helps next time I go wheeling. If anyone is interested in the design, basically what i did was cut the link that has the ball joint in it closest to the rubber bush end. You then cut about 1" of a suitable diameter heavy wall pipe and weld it to the end that the rubber bushes go. The bit with the rest of the link shaft fits inside and you drill and pin the two halves together. If anyone needs more details just PM me.

Thanks. Familiar with the D-90 article. Sounds similar to the above.

Had a look at the D90 article, but mine are a different set up as I have cut and joined the link that has the ball joint at one end and rubber bushes at the other....I'll try and post up some pics ASAP.
