May not be as bad on the z engineering mine. The key was to get an "s" shape could have got smaller length in but certainly doesn't hurt..: unless you drive through flood water ?

boab3 164 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Well got round to starting up didnt fire as normal very rough wont idle.smooth on throttle tho.lamda fault came up on vagcom so new lambda to go on.and still a leak from oil bath cant seem to get this leak sorted yeti thought i had it sorted but still a run from bath and its from the bath seals not the inner seals annoying but slow progress.but charger has a nice whistle sounds spot on VR6Pete and VR6 Supercharged 2 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Possible air leak ? Maf too close to charger? Took a bit get mine running nice. But was just unmetered air in the end. What is needed fix leak on oil bath? I'm not familiar with how these work boab3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boab3 164 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Im wondering if lambda would affect the idling as i did have a few niggles previously and my april mot last year just made it on its emissions the co was at maximum limit so i think its maybe now with bigger injectors new chip and a faulty lambda its chucking a lot of fuel in there.As for the oil bath I'll have to take charger off again have a good inspection see whats happening where oil leak is coming from.But on a good note its sounding nice under a bit of throttle.Only 1 other thing ive done is delete isv and blanked pipe Link to post Share on other sites
