Hello I have a problem with my Wd21 2.7td. The issue is with brakes not working properly. When the engine is not working the brakes are firm and the pedal doesn't go too far down, but when i start the engine the pedal goes almost all the way down and the brake light on the dash shows up. If I press them a few times the pedal gets hard but only for a second then drops down again and the light is showing 6all time. I have a new master cylinder, rubber hoses, brake calipers, rear brake cylinders, brake pads, rotors and brake shoes. I have bled the brakes more times than i can count and there is no air inside. What can be wrong? Thanks for all the help.

Hello Maybe a stupid question, vut did you have to remove the turbo or can you remove the EGR without taking down the turbo? Also as I understand the pipe that goes behind the engine can be removed completely. But what about the EGR itself? Can somebody please send me pictures of the process because i cannot see them here in forum. Kind regards Samo

Sorry for late response I am on a vacation. Yes i ordered repair kit for master cylinder along with new brake pads and discs (the left one is badly worn due to seized caliper). I will change all of this and bleed the brakes once again and hope for the best :), i have also ordered new brake shoes for aft brakes. I will try to find some info about the booster but I checked and search quite a bit and found nothing for now :/. Kind regards Samo

Hello I have issues with my brakes on my WD21 2.7TD , i changed front calipers and bled the system and all is well, but just after a 20km drive a have zero brake pressure on the pedal and when i do its pulling hard to the right, i am not leaking any brake fluid though, not a single drop. Is the problem in the brake manifold? Also i wanted to ask if a brake booster from terrano 2 or maybe a patrol would work as a replacement for mine, on pictures they seem familiar. Thanks for the help. Kind regards Samo

Update. I wired the gauge and testet it out directly to thr battery and it works great now i will wire it to the cigarette lighter or the cb wires if they work :). Hm thank you I will leave it for now and bother with that when i make new 2.5in exhaust and add the intercooler. Will keep you guys posted for the build :). Thanks for the help.

Thank you both for help. The idea of tapping the parking lights seem the best to me and will probably go with that. I noticed the previous owner had a CV station bellow the radio and there is also a connector with 2 wires would that work? for right now the light in the gauge is not important but good to know for later :). Has anybody tried removig the EGR from the 2.7td, how did you manage it?

Hello I am again asking for help, I want to set up a temp gauge and i would like some detail instructions on how to do that, for reference I have never done any electrical work myself so i do not know exactly what am I doing. The scheme says one wire from sensor is going to engine ground and the other to the gauge. Where do i find engine ground point? The - wire from the gauge also goes to the eng ground. The + goes to the ignition switch or some other 12v source. Where can i source that since the ignition switch only has a connector to the wiring. The gauge also has a light in it and obviously a + and - pin, where can i wire them to? Thanks for the help.

Hello, thank you for advice :), I lifed the car and indeed it is an open diff so further actions were pretty straight forward with no complications :). That means that i will now put a rear locker at least in the back without lossing LSD. Thank you very much i will save it on my PC, it will help me a lot . I do have some wiring behind the dash so i assume they are for fog lights, i will get a switch and check it out. Well yes thats the thing they don't have any wires but the red one is the same as in some patrols (maybe for glow plugs or something?). Anyway a little update, i am getting a ARB bullbar and runva winch on it with dual batterie set up for some additional lights, skid plates and probably OME or trailmaster lift kit. I am looking forward to wheeling in this beast, later this summer i will add water intercooler and turbo upgrade along with opening the injection pump and all the proper gauges (EGT, turbo pressure...) Thanks for the help

Hello guys, i am new to the group and I need some help with my WD21 1990 2.7TD 4x4. e 1. My rear differential pinion seal is leaking resulting in mudbath in my rear diff, I want to change it but i am not sure what kind of a differential i have on, previous owner said It has LSD but i do not see a sticker on the diff, but i guess it could be torn off over time since this car swa a LOT of offroad action. Anyway, If somebody can help me identify the whole thing. On the back side it has stamped 2CVB, on the front are si stamped ND0673 and 180, the engine is 2.7TD 1990. I am asking because in the manual (altough for petrol engines) it states that this seal should not be changed while the diff is on the car because of the collapsible spacer. Can somebody give me some info and if i can do it while it is on the car? Saadly i cannot share photos because they are bigger then 150kb. The diff itself doesn't have a access plate behing it so it can be open just by removing the diff from the axle housing from the front side. 2. I would like to find a full manual for 2.TD, i have one for petrol engines and a partial one for TD version or just the electrical diagrams would be very helpful :). 3. I am looking to modify the engine, open up the injection pump, 3inch exhaust, water intercooler and a better turbo. Can somebody suggest me what turbo would be the best, i don't want a too big turbo because it takes long to turn it over just something for better performance. I noticed there is also a smal tube going to the metal tube (the one with turbo sign on it) on the top of the engine where intercooler would be, what does it do? 4. I would also like to ask what are the red and black button for on the dash next to the window heater switch. My car also doesn't have foglights is it just the switch missing or were some models just without one?. I kindly thank to everybody for help. Iam also doing some great mods in the future that I wanna show :). Kind regards Samo from Slovenia
