Title: my car dying again
Post by: sickboy2345 on August 12, 2008, 07:19:26 PM
ok dont kno what happened, basically i got a boost leak, oil leak(from under the sandwich plate - im gonna just bin the plate so done worry about that)

what i did on saturday (i had jus a boost leak and oil leak) was installing my water temp sensor(cut the rad hose, fitted t-piece with sensor - it doesnt leak or anything) and checking my oil leak(i just tighten up the plate thinking it will fix the problem - no joy here...) and also i checked my cross over tube as it was apparently causing my boost leak. what i did with the tube was just rapping soem tape around it with some silicon/glue kinda stuff just to see if i can stop it leaking for a while to make sure its definitely my leak.

havent driven my car for two days , and today took it for a little spin for testing. what happened was my oil temp gauge showed 150 degrease staright after i started the engine, 10 minutes later my water temp showed the same(stock one was in the middle and didnt go up even after 5 minutes driving)

the i put my foot down a bit and spotted some white smoke coming from under the bonnet every time BOV was blowing air out, stopped the car popped the hood up and thats what happend:

Uh oh! :( what oil are you using? sounds like you need to book it in to have that looking at, if it runs out of oil thats a rebuild :(
