Title: Forge DV information needed
Post by: joesgti on August 25, 2009, 07:48:26 pm: Can anybody tell me what this part does?? also is it possible for oil to come out of it as i seem to have a very very small oil leak that looks like its been leaking for a while, and it looks like its coming from this thing, 2 or 3 hoses go into it, couldnt get a proper look as i only have axel stands.

Any info much apreciated :happy2:

Also my oil consumption hasnt gone down.

You should know if you have the spacer. It is bought separately from the DV itself and is about £50
Just makes a whooshy noise.

It was already on the car when I bought it. My car does make a little wooshing noise but I thought it was the intake...this makes me wonder whether I got a spacer or not...
