Great write up, any one had issues with the fluid spraying out of the filler hole when running after fitting a new cooler ? I topped up the level with engine turned off ran it up through the gears for a bit with plug in but tried to check level with engine at idle and around 35' but it sprayed out and I ended up putting plug back in

I put the pressure up to about 15psi and can hear air in intake and coming out of oil cap when I unscrewed it. Is this the turbo bypassing into oil system ?

Ive fitted a larger intercooler and wanted to pressure test intake system and check for leaks. Should it hold pressure the way I have it set up? Cheers

I changed the seal last week, ended up making a puller its not pretty but it worked ok. Ill clean puller up and give it a coat of paint. Next job trans cooler and get rid of leaking trans thermostat.

Thanks for advice im going to give it a crack when im off next week

My bad, I was thinking people would be using generic type pullers

Hi guys I have a oil leak from the front of engine, its hard to tell exactly but I was going to start by replacing front crank seal. Question is what type of crank puller is required for job? I didn't want to get half way through the job and find out I have the wrong puller.

Hey Benji81 what cooler and hose did you use?

Anyone know whst centre caps I need I have 2 different styles and they are both loose when fitted.

Picked up a bf mk2, was advertised as ba mk2 but is 07/06 build with zf. Old owner only advertised cars faults the list was. - engine light on - headlining sagged - handbrake cover taped up - steering wheel worn - coil cover not fitted - engine oil leak - coolant leak - bonnet has bad crows feet. Had 10 months rego picked it up for $4k. So far ive fixed engine oil leak which was tappet cover gasket, engine light was cam solenoid. Coolant leak was header tank . Also picked up f6 cold air, k&n filter, second hand plasma man intercooler and x4 controller. Plans are for a tidy street car as I have a vk 5.0l with a turbo in the build as well, looking at doing the following - new front mounted gearbox cooler - gearbox service - fuel pump and injectors - dump pipe and cat - tune and have fun.

Anyone know the paint code to match silver trim in bf mk2, looking at painting zf gear surround and silver trims on door trims?

Hi all I joined up a few months ago when I picked up a xr6 turbo. Was advertised as ba mk2 but is 7/06 bf mk2 with zf needs a fair few things tidied up but for the money is a good buy. Ill start a thread shorty. Cheers Wayne
