Hi guys, don't suppose anyone could offer any advice following my post on pistonheads?
So following some poking about yesterday I think my assumption may have been incorrect so could anyone offer some thoughts.
Upon inspection I'm not leaking oil through the coil but from above behind this coolant pipe.
Doing some research suggests there is a vent pipe from the AOS that connects into the crankcase here.
This is the variocam coil.
It seems logical to me that if my crankcase pressure is wrong it could mess with the variocam operation?
My poverty purchase looks like it has its first big bill incoming after a couple of years as I have a fault on bank one code P1340.
I replaced the seal around the solenoid last year but the oil appears to be leaking through it rather than around. I will have to do some testing to ascertain if it's just the solenoid at around £500 or the whole actuator at around £1500.
It's running really lumpy at idle but fine at higher revs.
This is going to result in scope creep as I have read that the exhaust manifold needs to come off which will result in many broken studs, so I may as well swap them out for new stainless ones.
Crappy timing what with all the sunshine!
