D/valve Problem - Now sorted thanks to JC.

[frank c]

Just noticed yesterday that the little pipe coming from the dv has broken off and the hose is  obviously now not connected.

Should i be driving the car like this ?   Will i be doing it any harm if i do ?

Hope someone can help as i'm not sure what to do.. Posted in the Wanted section too if anyone can help me source one.

 

Cheers

Could be wrong but im pretty sure you should NOT drive the car like this.

I take it you mean the lil vacum pipe off the top of the dump valve?

When you are driving the car is it making a wooshing noise all the time sounds like an air leak?

I think if you do drive it like that on boost the ecu will go into safe mode.

 

This is what iv been told about the newages anyway am guessing the classic are similar hth mate cheers greig

 

[frank c]

Cheers Greig,

It's hard to tell what extra noise it's making since i removed the bottom half of the airbox in the inner wing. And yes it's the little pipe from the Dv that's sheered off, no idea how it happened either.

I dont think i'll drive it till i find out the score or find a replacement..[] Might have to get the bus to work on Monday  [:'(]

If you are referring to the little pipe on a my99 OE dump valve that will be the vacuum pipe. That is what is used to activate the dump valve.

The car should be fine to use but keep it off boost until you have replaced it as you will effectively be running without a dumpvalve. Many people do this by choice but it can cause extra strain on the turbo.

sorry to but in Frank,just a wee question about the airbox mate,did it make any difference to performance (good or bad)?,will it effect the MAF?,was it easy to do(any problems)? Does it give a tasty induction sound now?.....as i have thought about doing this myself[] 

[frank c]

Nae probs Mark,

Andy F advised me to remove it when i went for my last mapping session. No idea about performance issues is im no techy but the engine bay temps seem reduced slightly and it does give off an induction sound now. It didn't take too long  to do either but i did have a wee problem with the captive nut (@ 12 o'clock) in the inner arch liner but easily rectified with a little patience.

HTH's..

cheers Frank,did you have to fit any additional pipework/ducting ,or is there enough airflow in inner wing anyway? 

[frank c]

I never added anything Mark but my mate added a piece of elbow shaped ducting to the hole in the inner wing incase of any water getting near it.
