TDV8 oil removal

[img]http://www.fullfatrr.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18150/normal_image~26.jpeg[/

I took Ajac8's advice after looking last weekend to service my RR. I bought a Draper expert Pnuematic - Manual oil extraction pump for just Unde £100 It's a good big of kit, but the instructions are a total waste of time. They do not even give you a working pressure in order to operate the pump. When I called the help line they told me the lowest pressure it would operate on was 77Psi and maximum pressure 116Psi. I measured the pick up which is 8mm O/D one of the three pick up straws measured 6mm O/D. So the picture shows a 8mm to 6mm reducer job done. The other pickup straws will easily fit into axles or diffs and the one straw is a metal one covered in plastic.

Presumable this is only suitable for engines that have a dip stick. They seem to be gradually be going out of fashion. None of our 3 cars has one!

The 4.4 doesn't have a dipstick but does have the tube which you connect the sucky bit too, it's how they do it in the MD! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammerðŸ˜œðŸ˜œ

Hi it comes with 3 pick up straws.

One is 6mm OD, and about 900mm long
One is 8mm OD, and about 750mm long. This a flexible steel straw coated in plastic. Looks very similar to a piece of curtain wire
One is about 10mm OD and about 300mm long, used for axle oil etc.

You can use it on any engine simply by inserting a straw down the dipstick tube. I am going to try it on my D1 300Tdi next time.
Then I plan to extract the diff oils out of the L322

Like mentioned in the other reply the 4.4L does not have a dipstick, you check the oil on the dash electronically.

Hi Macca

Nice to see you went for it. I just used my bog-standard aldi compressor without even thinking about the operating pressure required.

I'm a bit confused tho - mine came with all the stuff you have mentioned but the fitting i used was a flexible clear plastic tube which squeezed over the engine outlet tube. Wonder if Draper have changed the stock fittings.

Either way very useful. I never even thought of using the other fittings for the diffs / TCase etc. I did them the old fashioned way.

Its clear that anything less that 10 litres will simply not do. There was one stage when I was looking at the filling level and worrying it was going to start over flowing!

Be interested to hear how you get on with the D1 dipstick approach as SWMBO and both my lads have 'traditional' oil change cars. 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

I'm trying to work out where you suck the oil from in the first picture?

look at the engine, the pipe is towards the front drivers side, about 9" - 1' back into the engine bay. it has a black plastic cap on it which 1/4 twists and pulls off.

i used my clarke one on my Mrs car which is a conventional pick up. Just pushed the tube down the dipstick tube and pumped, my advice would be to make sure that the oil is warm before you try and hoover it out as it wouldnt work when cold! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammerðŸ˜œðŸ˜œ

Just to correct my earlier comment and to answer Maccas PM - my compressor was not a bog standard ALDI one it was a bog standard SCREWFIX one. Name on the side of the tank is Sumo and the model number is OL195/24 CM1.5UK (first O might be a Q).

1.5hp nothing special but more than man enough for the oil sucking. I've looked on the SF website but that model is no longer there but I'm not surprised as mine is a couple of years old at least. There are reasonably priced 50 litres alternatives tho.
