I have little knowledge of engine repairs but to save some cash, I would like to learn to do as many jobs myself as possible. I read today that the leaking tandem part is a known weak spot with the AMF engine, but I’m hoping somebody who has dealt with this issue, could possibly confirm from the attached picture taken at the right side of the engine block (not a great one I know sorry) that the bodged taped up hoses (from the oil cooler?) are indeed the ones I have read about that get damaged from leaking diesel due to seal failure.
If so, I can go through all the previous threads and work out part numbers and maybe even repair guides etc for myself without taking anybody’s time up. I just don’t want to dive in and spend money without being sure first. Would vcds show up any particular fault codes - I don’t have access at the minute but hoping to finish early enough tomorrow to make it to a good local A2 mechanic. Thanks in advance for any help to get me started.
