Title: Think I found the bad running problem
Post by: darren1.8t on 29 August 2013, 20:55

Right guys I found my crank case breather all taped up and another pipe next to it was squashed its the lower breather the one that's a s...t to get to :grin: will this cause running and holding bak issues? Cheers again guys

I had both of these pipes replaced, never improved any running issues. However, it did stop petrol vapors from making my engine bay smell. Running issues are 90% of the time coil packs, MAF sensors, air filters, or possibly spark plugs and injectors. Have you tested ALL of these for issues?

Good Luck  :smiley:
