Hi, Idle is spot on, does everything it should, cant get my head around it, all running well and drives spot on, boost is good and pulls really wellHi Richard, it's very unlikely to be that to be honest, the part delete is just a filtered bypass setup for all intensive purposes.
Any oil particles in the airflow will be retained in the catch tank and the micron gauze filter reduces to allmost zero anything being returned back into the turbo and back to the intake.
Whats the idle like , smooth or lumpy?
Yes, remaps and fuelling can account for the sooty tips.Hi, Idle is spot on, does everything it should, cant get my head around it, all running well and drives spot on, boost is good and pulls really well
and fast acceleration.
Exhaust tips are sooty, but my son reconds all remap engines tend to have this.
In a full pcv delete that pipe is removed and replaced with a blanking plate.What pipe is that? I'm guess the one that goes to the turbo,? is it worth checking for oil.
I have left the Catch Can drain open, would this cause anything.
Just to confirm, I disconnect the pipe at the valve cover, the large rubber pipe with the metal pipe attached, then what??I would Richard.
Can’t beat a good audio upgrade, the OEM setups on these cars are poor even with Bose. I’m running those JL C2 650’s in the back on my system, good speakers. Dynomat’ing the doors is a must when running an active set up, sounds so much better with sound deadeningHi all,
Just got an AV upgrade on the car finished.
-Kenwood DMX8020DABS head unit with DAB aerial
- JL Audio C2-650 FR component speaker set for the front
- JL CP110LG-TW1-2 subwoofer/enclosure
- JL Audio XD500/3v2 amplifier running the fronts and Subwoofer
- JL Audio RLC remote bass level adjuster for amp
No pircutres of the font speakers as they are just behind the OEM grill. Sub is secured as you can see with a bit of bungee.
Front doors and boot have been soundproofed as well.
Yeah the soundproofing has made a crazy difference. I am super happy with it.Can’t beat a good audio upgrade, the OEM setups on these cars are poor even with Bose.

New lower front arms today as yearly test is coming up and it was an advisory last year
These cars always have a few surprises in store when it comes to suspension jobs

The oil cooler mounts to the front of that part as well and it's not uncommon for the gasket seal on that joint to leak with age so the engine block joint will most likely be in the same situation.Had to get under the car today, reason, when I lifted the bonnet to the expansion bottle was almost empty.
I remember a few months back the the coolant level had dropped a bit, topped it up but was concerned why it was low.
Checked from the top of the engine, nothing found, rear coolant flange looks good, bell housing top is dry.
So today, put the car on axel stands, checked all the hoses with the car hot and found nothing.
Looking at the undertray there is wet on the right of the centre which seems to be right side of the engine,
having a good look arround that area I found it wet on the engine block, see attached picture.
It's also wet on the sump below that area so it must be running down, so thinking it might be oil filter housing to block.
Anyone experienced this issue, I read changing the gasket may not cure this as the housing is plastic and can distort over time
any help or advise much appreciated.
