Description   Photo thanks to  Don Ricardo on Unsplash This australian native plant has flowers in shades of red or orange or yellow. It flowers in winter through to spring when very little other colour is in the garden. It is a fantastic cut flower with stems reaching a metre sometimes. The plant  can tolerate hot humid climates. It is frost tender and is best planted in sunny situations with well drained soil. Put it in a container and it will do well for you, attracting birds and bees with its nectar rich flowers.   Sowing advice These seeds germinate best with smoke treatment. There are several methods to achieve this. Method 1 : Buy a pretreated smoke solution Method 2: A cheap option and one which has worked well for us  is to use a covered object such as a kettle barbecue or  large tin can with lid or similar which can contain the fire. Buy some vermiculite from your garden centre. In  the  BBQ or tin can object, put  the material you will use for generating smoke , such as dryish grass or wood chips or dryish leaves, in the base of the container. Light the material, and allow it to smoulder. Place the vermiculite in an open  container , and put this container into the  barbecue , tin etc, on a  rack above the base fire. Put the lid on the barbecue ,tin etc You may need to replenish the fire material a few times if it stops smouldering Leave the vermiculite inside  the covered BBQ /tin /etc for  about 30 mins Remove the vermiculite, and store in a sealed container Follow the makers directions for Method 1. For method 2 mix a small amount of the smoked vermiculite into the seed raising mix. Sow the seeds in late winter and spring.  Sow the seeds on the surface of the  seed raising mix when the temperatures reach the ideal temp range  of about 18-22 deg C. .Sprinkle the seed lightly with some smoked vermiculite. Do not let the mix completely dry out, but dont waterlog them . Place in a warm shady position.Germination should occur within a month, but can take longer .  Should this occur, set the seed pot aside somewhere and don’t discard as they often germinate when conditions suit them. We can sometimes supply a very small  amount of smoked vermiculite with your seeds if you ask us .

Warranty policy

All products are backed by unlimited mileage and one (1) Year, Limited Warranty. Please read terms and conditions for full description.

Before fitting the new part, you MUST find the reason why turbocharger FAILED and CORRECT it. Fitting a new turbo will only result the same failure. Less than 10% of turbocharger failures, are due to the turbo itself, in most cases failures are caused by outside influence. Most common causes of consequential failure (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY) are listed below. All new Kott Turbo Works products are backed by a one (1) Year Limited Warranty. The one (1) Year Limited Warranty covers all manufacturer defects. Warranty does not cover labor recovery, accommodation, or any other costs. Turbochargers must be returned for a detailed warranty inspection. Any modification to the product voids the one (1) Year Limited Warranty. The one (1) Year Limited Warranty does not cover :

  • Failure to provide installation documents from repair facility. (Self/parking lot installs)
  • Failure to perform and document scheduled maintenance on time.
  • Seaping/leaking oil out of compression outlet, caused by excesive BLOW BY or clogged crankcase FILTER.
  • Failures due to Improper installation or maintenance, restricted oil feed pipe, damaged oil pump, low oil level, metal particles or carbon present, faulty DPF filters and/or EGR valves, contaminated lubricant, oil starvation.
  • Using liquid gasket or sealing compounds
  • White deposit present on exhaust parts due to excessive engine oil burn.
  • Over speeding, defective intercooler and or compression piping, stuck VGT, Remap
  • Foreign object and physical damage, defective or dirty air filter and supply pipes.

Due to the intricacies involved in warranty process and the industry standard protocol regarding the inspection of parts and turnaround time, we will not offer free replacements prior to full inspection and analysis. To minimize potential downtime for our customers, we strongly recommend the purchase of replacement parts as a proactive measure. We kindly request your understanding in this matter.

Installation tips

Most common misdiagnosis.

Oil leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, the main factor being incorrect pressure within the compressor and turbine housings, which is usually caused by:

  • Blockages to the air intake filter and/or hoses.
  • Excessive crank case pressure (blow-by from worn piston rings/bores)
  • Blockages in the exhaust system
  • Repeated hot engine shutdowns leading to carbon deposits (coke) in the centre housing
  • Dirty crankcase filter
  • Use of silicon sealant / incorrect gasket, twisted, bent or trapped oil return pipe

Most common turbocharger failure causes on semi trucks:

  • Foreign object damage – Broken off engine components, e.g. valves (D13), fragments of damaged pistons or injector tips, EGR block off plates.
  • Oil contamination – High carbon build up present in the engine can quickly contaminate new oil, contamination of new oil while servicing.
  • Degrading oil – excessive temperatures or extended service intervals.
  • Internal engine leaks – fuel or coolant mixing with oil supply.
  • Turbocharger overspeeding – Engine modifications including ‘chipping’ or ‘over-fuelling, bad program installed if EGR/DPF delete was performed, worn injectors. Tear in the air hose or the hose becoming completely detached. Restrictions in the air intake filter or pipe work. Air leaks between compressor and engine.
  • Lack of lubrication – 
    1. Engine left idle for long periods, especially during cold weather
    2. Oil feed pipes containing bends or kinks
    3. Lack of maintenance, oil change intervals should be shortened as engine gets old.
    4. Insufficient oil in the sump
    5. Incorrect oil inlet gasket used leading to restriction in oil supply
    6. Build-up (coking) / carbon deposits in the oil feed pipe
    7. Applying silicone to the oil inlet gasket causing blockages
    8. Sludge or coke build up in bearing housing from hot shutdowns
    9. Failure to prime the turbo with oil before initial run
