You will hear it.

Could be cracked re-circulating valve or a leak - check the pancake pipe joints for signs of oil  :wink:

I found my old standard valve the other day, looks fine but I can blow straight through it and that was 52k miles when I replaced it :huh:

thanks for replies....

can the pancake pipe be easily viewed from lifting the bonnet or is it a raise and look underneath job.............?

also been getting this code recently.............17608 - "boost presure control valve" (N249) - mechanical malfunction

would this possibly have anything to do with a faulty diverter valve.............?

pancake pipe is behind your drivers wheel

as for the code, have a search, you'll find loads of topics as it's a sore subject for AUM/AUQ owners  :grin:
