and here's on out roof! i'll but another bar, to have a third point and to place the tent more in the rear of the truck.. can't wait to use it! "unfortunately" we're leaving for some weeks till new year: we'll visit the southern usa so we'll have to wait!

Hi guys! After some days spent climbing in Sardinia, yesterday we went at Autohome, to catch our new Roof Hotel! It's a brand new Columbus Variant, that we ordered in September at a Camper Fair check it out!

great rick! this is the kind of tip i was looking for! thanks!

pump is back on the engine! after some hundreds euros of bill.. it was leaking from the head, but it needed to be serviced and the man replaced some components and i hope i'll not be wrong translating it for you.. of course gaskets, but also some spacer and the pumping elements. talking with...

that's why i want to learn to do as much works as possible (and consequently, why i always bother you!).. Finding a trustful mechanic here is like winnng the lottery. Fortunately this time I personally saw my pump on the machine.. and my trust rised a bit!

news! bad news.. yesterday evening i went to the shop to check my truck. it was in the garage with the bonnet still open and the pump on the Bosch testing machine. The pump specialist said that it was leaking from the head and that the pump has never been overhauled. so last year the previous...

I do i do! the second key is almost new, so i already used that one to create a copy on the new virgin blades. I could create as much copies as i want, but i still have only two transponder for the immobilizer, inside the two original keys! :D so i'll have to destroy the plastic blade holder of...

a lot of dirt! this morning i left the truck to a pump specialist going to work.. i'm waiting for the final diagnosis

thanks! the only bad news is that i have to sacrify the original case, but one of the blades is really really worn, so i'll try with it! i'll keep you updated! and remember.. I definitely owe you at least a beer!

i assume it's exactly the same, from aliexpress, according to your pic! I've bought a couple of these!

thanks for your experience! but where did you put it in your key? is there a dedicated slot? I don't think i've seen anything

great, i supposed so. is there a particular way to remove it from the case? i don't want to break it

no, i read something similar about number of starts.. and i only made one attempt and then start the engine with the second key. i thought the chip is on the electronic PCB.. is it the red one inside the plastic key base?

tre flipping fob has eventually arrived and this evening i moved the electronic from the original key to the new flip fob. this new key gives has problems with the immobilizer: the engine doesn't start and the engine warning light blinks instead of being steady. Banshee, have you had any...

for sure, Rick! i'll keep you updated

nice! it seems quite easy, indeed.. but i guess i have to detach the pump from the engine and that's what i fear most! a bunch of things to disassemble before reaching the pump

my pump is in passenger side, as we drive on the correct side of the road.. :sly:sly just joking, of course! this morning i left the truck by a mechanic before going to work, in a couple of hours he called me back. the leakage is from the body of the pump. i'm not comfortable servicing the...

thanks rick, you're always full of good tips! what should i remove in order to have a good access to the pump? without the intercooler i have a great view of the injector zone. I think i should remove the intake manifold, but i think i'd need new gaskets in that case

bad news.. yesterday the courier gave me the new pipe and in the afternoon I checked the injectors. both pipes and injectors are new and clean.. no signs of leakage. I checked again under the truck and it seems the injector pump is sweating a bit. idling the engine, i can see a drop every 15-20...

damn! almost the same for me. I'll send you a pic as soon as I work on it. fortunately the inner side has already been welded by the mechanic and i absolutely don't know why he didn't weld the outer side too!
