Gasa XM 2.1 "Prestige"

[Gasa]

...ooo, again I want to remove the entire console, I'll see if I can do that in a few days, it really annoys me that it doesn't show the temperature.

..I got an electric armrest, I don't know if this is the place for the relay, and how the circuit breakers are connected, where the power is taken from.

..when I took out the armrest, there was only this from the connector, does anyone have a picture of the complete installation and how everything is connected.

I thought that relay socket was for rear electric windows, need to check.
The armrest is just the armrest unit , switch , wiring.

what could be the problem of oil appearing in this place after a long drive, EGR valve, turbo , rubbers on the valves...

The oil is from the engine breather system and is normal.

Check the manifold is bolted down tightly, otherwise the rubber collars are worn.

New rubbers are hard to find, I'll try with metal saddles to tighten everything.

[Dieselman]

In my experience, as long as the manifold is tightened down properly, these don't leak, even on turbo engines.

You can buy new seals, p/n 0362 55

I think I will solve that problem with metal saddles, I checked everything, everything is tight, it's just that the rubber bands have loosened.

[Gasa]

I hope I solved the problem with the rubber bands, this was the easiest and cheapest solution for me, the saddles cost 5 eu.

..the intake ducts are relatively clean, they have no soot deposits, probably the EGR valve has been stuck in the closed position for a long time and does not introduce soot.
