Goce's 06 twin turbo diesel peugeot

Last few days i've been taking apart the 607 very dirty and hard work, there is absolutely no space. One other thing i've also been doing is washing the cooling system parts it looks like this car that had this problem for a long time, on all the hoses, housings there is a 3mm this layer of oil sludge, there is a lot of it i've been soaking the parts in oven degreaser and washing them with very hot water but i'm having trouble getting all the sludge out, even after 5 washings there is still coming out, on some parts i can get a brush in them and they clean up well but staf like EGR coolers valves i can't acces them. Has anyone had to do this any tips how clean the engine block and rest of the system, outside of the car. Any advice is appreciated.

Oven spray, it's tough on aluminum but gets it clean.

This being a 06' most of cooling components are plastic and rubber and i'm using oven spray/ degreaser but is not working very well, needs couple of washings to clean them. I was thinking about making some rig to circulate degreaser thru the engine and then flash it with hot water.

Today i got my hands really dirty removed the accessory drive, removal the alternator disconnect and drain the power steering , moved the A/C compressor then i moved to the passenger axle, it has a carrier bearing bolted the the engine block removed it. Then i went under it, removed the front catalytic converter, unbolted a cross support, removed the inspection cover and unbolted the 6 bolts from the flexplate to the torque converter then after fighting with the rear catalytic converter i figure out that it can come out with the engine then i remove the power steering oil cooler and dropped down the radiator support and A/C compressor without degassing the system. At this point i could not feel my hands from the cold so i call it a day.

You're a brave man. I absolutely draw the line at working on French cars. Peugeot being the absolute worst of them all! I came to the conclusion that they're designed to be unmaintainable and disposable.

Bon courage and kudos, though!

They are a bit worse than others but no way as bad as: rolls royce, citroen, bentley from the 70's and i'm dealing with those often. So dealing with the french is easy.

Today i spent a lot of time in the garage, after finishing pulling some staff around engine and the engine come out, my engine crane is actually bending from the weight. When i pulled the top bolt for the gearbox all the oil and water from the engine wally leaked out and there's a lot. With the engine out i set it on a tire and took the timing belt cover off to inspect the belt and is soaked in engine oil. So a big step forward now the more technical work can begin.

Last few days i've been very busy at work but i did found some time to start tearing down the engine for this car, removing the engine wiring harness took some time, removing the covers, pulleys, brackets, hoses and the big thing i removed was the oil filter, cooler housing. The hole in the engine block was full of oil and coolant i had to separate the coolers to get it removed because the intake manifolds stick out but i managed to get it out, now i need to remove the fuel injectors, high pressure pump but removing common rail fuel injectors is not a simple task, i got a new can of penetrating oil and will be spraying the injectors over the next few days. Im still not asking myself why do i do this to my self.

 

[GoceKU]

Today i spent half a day fighting with the fuel injectors i used up an entire can of penetrating oil and lots of bruised ankles but thankfully they all come out undamaged and with all there copper seals, next on the schedule is to make blanking plates for all the openings and i'll like to pressurised the engine to see if i can found or hear air leaking.

 

[GoceKU]

Well i'm at a crossroad, i made blanking plates and closed all openings and pressurised the engine block and did not find any hissing or leaking, i even took a stethoscope and probed all the cylinders i could not hear any leaking then i also pressure tested the EGR coolers both of them are also Ok no bubbles. Has anyone had any experience how to test or what to do. The Main symptoms Is pushing all the coolant out when i start the engine, also there is engine oil in the coolant but the oil cooler is leaking and is showing signs of bad O'Rings also there was a lot of oil leaking from it. Any thoughts, advice is much appreciated.
