strange sound !
« on: 27 January 2011, 15:00 »
Oks since i ve fitted my new master clutch cylinder i ve been getting a sound from under the bonnet, i say sound as i cant really describe it. It only happens when i have my foot down on the accelerator but not at slow speed the sound is like air rushing/blowing . . .i think.

When i did my master cylinder i removed the air pipe from the air box to next to the manifold and the elbo joint from the EGR to the intercooler. could i have disturbed something and coursed a boost leak or something like that ? but i havent noticed any power difference [i know with 90bhp you wouldn't lol] no smoke etc.

Thanks any help would be appreciated
