It's still working but hope you can help me with a few queries
Boost guage - is reading negative 0.5 at idle, then up to 0.0 at about 1500-2000rpm but no movement after.
Lift off and it drops to -1 and settles at -0.5
Yesterday it settled at zero and dipped to -0.5 at anything over 2000k revs. But, today I found an air leak to the large brass fitting (electrovalve) behind the PS fluid container (what the hell is it?).
Repaired that and then found a disconnected/broken small bore pipe on the right hand side of the block...looked like it may go into the thermostat via a temp sensor but not sure as it looked like small bore boost piping again???
Also, whilst doing a bodge repair (black tape!) on the air intake pipe I removed the metal cylinder on the RHS of the block for access. This, and all the piping had loads of oil inside....is this bad? I'm wondering if the turbo is blowing oil
Now the air intake has been quietened I can hear some transmission whine at idle. Disappears when the clutch is depressed. Not too worried as I'll just drive it until it gets worse and the whining drowns the engine But, just checking it's not normal??? I'll check the gearbox and transmission oil asap.
Engine's a bit quieter today since I put about two litres in it :evil: (could this be linked to the turbo?).
Sorry for the long post....Q4s
