| I'm having the exact same problem. In my case, it looks like there is probably a pinhole in the rear heater core since I can smell anti freeze when I first run the rear heater fan. I just replaced t ... | |

I guess the main reason I put the tank outside is because I use the inside, under-seat storage for tools & spare parts. Also, I'm sure at some point I'd be spilling veggie all over th ... |

Looks great! Tnx, Rein ... |

Any suggestions on optimal setting for the wastgate adjustment screw on the 1.6TD motors? The stock setting ran about 9 psi max and the low-rpm response was very good. I cranked it in som ... |
