URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
Thanks Alex, I might not bother then.
Pesky jones:
Vaccum pump turned up today, REV F so the seal ive bought (for the second time) should fit.
Im going to replace the vac pump and valve cover gasket this week as well as giving it a dam good clean - like a doctor, not a nurse :wink: hopefully tomorrow.
In other news, since ive had the car running again, there is a noise that im not a hundred percent sure on in the engine. It isn't a loud or even very noticeable noise, its only because ive been listening to the engine since it running again that ive been able to pick it up. I doubt a passenger or walker by would notice it. Its hard to record, and you can only hear it in the video if you watch it in a quiet place. It does actually make the noise whenever the engine is on, but you can hear it from 15 seconds to 20 seconds most clearly. It kind of goes and comes every second, is a low pitched surge type noise. I cant remember if it did it before or after the cam chain snap!
Im trying to go and see my mates leon FR to listen to that run, but his is a bwa so may run differently anyway.
here's the video
Pesky jones:
Anyone got any ideas on the above noise?
In other news, I met up with my mate with the leon FR, and his smelt the same as mine when you stuck your head in the bay so I think it was just excess oil. Definitley replacing the vac pump but in two minds about the valve cover gasket now... don't think its leaking - think it was just excess oil that's now been burnt.
I couldn't hear the noise that mine makes on his engine, although I couldn't hear it on mine at that time either! (cars going past etc.)
Im not sure I posted this or not already, but when I was removing the pcv, two of the bolt heads had sheared off whilst undoing them. This means its only held on by two out of four screws, both at one side of the PCV, but it seems to have a good seal. Wondering if this could be it. When I replace the vac pump (and possibly the valve cover gasket – depending on people opinion) im going to try and get the two PCV valve bolt shafts out of the valve cover someone… not really sure how tbh. If I get them out then ill replace and see if it sorts the noise
Pesky jones:
Just got started and its started raining :fighting:
Pesky jones:
Working in between dry bits lol. Just replaced vacuum pump and cleaned up the gearbox.
Now to decided whether its worth doing to valve cover gasket in between rain... it is generally sunny and the rain obly lasts for a couple a mins at a time
