Hi
Please can anyone help I have just bought a 20VT 180 and when running at temperature there is a hissing noise coming from the engine as if a pipe is split and the idle 'pinks' slightly. Also when you rev the engine the revs drop but the cars nearly stalls. When driving there is no problem...
Hi,
When fixing up the engine block, mechanic has mentioned there is a 'hissing' sound, and that combined with the recent error codes from VAG.COM would indicate a possible boost leak.

How do you really know if you've got a boost leak?
My 225 has got an induction kit fitted so it you can hear the turbo spool up and the 007p dump slightly. But i'm sure i can hear a whistle from the O/S of the engine when on boost. It's just hard to tell for definate as the induction kit...
Ive developed what i can assume is a boost leak. maybe n75 but not 100% sure. maybe a split hose.

Hi Guys.
I picked my LCR up 2 weeks ago. After a couple of days, I noticed an oil leak. Took it to the garage to be fixed under warranty. It had been serviced pre sale but they hadn't noticed the leak.

I have had a damp boot for a while and after drying out the carpet and leaving a seat down to dry out the boot I went hunting last night. So this may help someone.
The water was on the plastic sill when you opened the boot - sometimes to right as you look in and sometimes at the catch. It...
