Were the voltage readings you gave with your motor running or not ? After reading your message I hooked my volt meter to the cigarette lighter . Before starting the motor I had 12.58 volts .After starting the motor it went to 14.3 and at highway speed it hit a max of 14.35 . I did the above test thinking you would have to be at driving speeds to really see what the charging rates would be especially after reading the repair manual and seeing the number of different components that could affect the voltage being put out .

Hello Nescosmo,
 
I'm trying to locate the contact for the SEGR kits but they all reference the Lost KJ which has been down for quite a while. Can you post the contact or tell me where I can find it?
 
Also, how difficult is the installation and what is the cost?

My readings are with the engine running, however after I saw your question I put a good DVM on and found that the meter is .9 VDC low.
Therfore my actual readings should be 14.9 and 13.7 .

I am.....I do have the address and the name of the person that sell them and the person that can assemble it for you if you are not electronically incline.
 
The person that assembles them is UFO and I think that he has one left. but the other person blogger name can not remember. but I do have his real name and I cannot give it to you here. If you want I can e mail you the name and address so you can wright him. But I cannot give his name over the air.
 
So let me know. The last time I paid $80.00 disassemble and that was on 9/07 I think that now is more. and it is different.
 
If when you wright to him he will give you UFO contact and UFO will assemble it for you for a price, which I think is well worth it. It will be assemble with cables and the plan where you have to install it and how to do it.
 
Ever since I install this thing all of my problems went away, no more egr essue and no more smoke. that gadget is a miracle wander, the best money I have ever spend.

There are 2 ways to shutdown the EGR.
1. Disconnect the wire to the EGR
2. Disconnect the MAF
Either one will cause a MIL unless you do the mods listed in earlier posts.
 
I have also found a way to get more power and as good if not better mileage.
 
Take a T and put it in the feed from the vacuum reservoir to the first vacuum control on the turbo. Put another T on the turbo vacuum control line. Tie the 2 T's together.
This ups the boost by an amount you can feel-I have not put a ScanGauge on it to document the difference yet.
I have found that off the line response is much better and the engine has more power.

The glow plugs are not hard to change but it takes a little pick and shovel work to get at them. Error code indicated that it was the front plug that was bad on my CRD but it was actually the rear one. If it is the front plug removing the alternator provide access. If it’s the rear plug removing the fuel filter assembly provides access. If it’s one of the other two plugs then probably removing the CAC house and EGR flow control valve will provide access. Not much unused space under the hood of a CRD.
 
The bad plug was not seized in the head and looked like new. I used a 1/4 inch drive ratchet and had to buy a socket that was designed different than what I had to allow the plug to go into the socket. The plug is small and does not need to be very tight – should be able to sense when it is snug enough unless you know what the torque requirement is and you have a suitable wrench.
 
I wasted some time trying to determine how to release the electrical connector from the end of the glow plug without damage. There is no trick. It just pulls off kind of hard.

mdamick, my 2 hoses was replaced at 68000 miles when the pressure side of turbo
blew out. what I did was kept the old ones and built new ones made of aluminium.
Made the connection hook up with clamps and small sections of hose.
I dont think these will ever blow or wear out again. I used .040 thick material
