URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
Ok. i'll have to look into it a bit more thoroughly. Its a shame, r-tech only have limited amount left for 125, but I really cant afford it at the moment - buying a house, get the keys today! and the girlfriend wont let me.
Is it ok to run with the issue for a while until I get some money to fix it do you think?
Pesky jones:
Change of plan, borrowed a dremel so im going to try cut a groove into the bolts and undo the shafts with a screwdriver. Then just replace bolts so the PCV is properly secured and see if the engine tone improves. Not going to go down the PCV delete route.
Pesky jones:
So update - I took it to rtech for a free smoke test and health check. The smoke was leaking at the PCV,
So @doylebros and @Dan_FR you were right, this is probably the cause of the surge. I have a dremel and cutting disc now, just too scared to try and remove the two broken bolt shafts haha. Chances are ill end buying a new valve cover. Any ideas on price?
They said I didnt have any other boost leaks, but to check the dv spring. Nikki test drove it and said it lagged a bit when changing gears, which ive noticed, and he said a dsg reset might help it but to check the dv as well.
Dan_FR:
It's certainly worth attempting to remove them, unless you decide to block up the inlet manifold and vent the gases to atmosphere. No idea on cost though sorry.
