Looking for someone to change my o rings?

[David F]

Can anyone help me?
I've just been reading up on things to check after I've bought my CDT.
EGR, PCV, intercooler o rings?!

I have a oily mess in front of the battery area, it must be the o rings

I have contacted Jules to order the o rings and PCV filter, but, looking at the info on fitting the o rings, you have to remove the front bumper!

I'm not not useless, or lazy, but, I really don't have anywhere to do it, not even a driveway, just the side of a busy road!

Does anyone know of anyone in the area, I'm near Whitley Bay, not far from newcastle, who can do this, preferably without charging the earth.

Thanks guys, I know there are lots of you up here, I just haven't met any of you yet.
I'm planning on going to the metro centre meet in april though.

Those things are all easily do-able at the road side!

You do not need to remove the bumper to do the O rings, easier and quicker from above. You just need a small socket set (10mm I think) to undo the elbow. EGR is not a difficult job, but a very dirty one.

You could actually remove the bumper at the road side too, it looks more difficult than it is, but best to get some help for the first attempt and some carpet to drop it onto.

Really?
It looks tricky, unless you have really small hands and skinny double jointed arms! I have neither...

If you are in newcastle under lyme I would happily do them for a beer.
