Title: Blown Gasket?
Post by: andyrose on June 28, 2004, 01:28:49 PM
Hi guys (n gals)
I noticed a different sound coming from the turbos when on boost.
It didn\'t sound too ominous to beging with as it could hardly be heard and there was no loss in performance.
On the return trip from SantaPod cpouple of weeks ago I noticed that it was more pronouced.
With the engine running and bonnet up I can hear a gasket blowing by. There is still no loss in its zoom zoom but its beginning to sound like a tractor. I know its not a mechanical noise as I can\'t hear and rubbing, scrapping, banging and clattering.
Wondering if theres a typical gasket that blows on a regular basis
or not.
Any pointers?
Cheers
