Hi All,
After around five years of ownership I discovered in the handbook the need to check the air cleaner dump valve for blockage and condition.
This I attempted to do earlier today - I do not have one and as far as I can tell never have since purchasing.
Looking at the detail I assume that the engine has been sucking in 'un-filtered' air all this time?
I guess that the damage is done and it's too late to do anything about it now. I do about 4k miles per year around mid Norfolk so it is likely that quite a bit of dust has been inhaled into the NA diesel engine.....
Is it worth buying a dump valve and fitting or should I just plug the hole?
Regards
Richard
