i have a mojor air leak some where . i fellow SAU friend recons i should remove the hose(pcv) and block both holes on crackcase and rocker cover to see if this remedies my delema . any one blocked theirs off? - the sound is comming from their somewhere yet i cannot locate it . it could be possible that the one way valve in the pcv hose is ruined , any one had any leaks there or blocked theirs?

cheers

YUp my pcv valve seal also has a air leak, you can hear it start to whistle when the car is idling, hasnt caused any dramas yet tho, if you really want to block it off and do a quick job you could just cut the hose in half a put a bolt in each end to block it off.

But you might aswell get a catch can then remove the whole pcv setup and get an alloy bung made to fit inside the original pcv valve seal that goes in the cam cover, thats what i will be doing very soon.

thanks for reply . after the car has warmed up a bit - the loud wistling noise comes on . wont go away . im going to atempt this today - hopefully this will fix it , iv had this problem for a few months and still no luck . will post results in a few hours. thanks

results - i blocked off the pcv hose , yet to find when the car started it was bumpy as all hell . so i put it back together as per usual. i thought of spraying some wd40 around the hoses near there , and the wistling leak stopped and went to just an air wooshing sound , still cant find it .

i tried putting a hose and moving it aroun trying to listen where , its got me stuffed

can anybody help - this is soooo anooying , and its causing a slight rough idle now and then.

    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
    • @Duncan Random side note, did the cops give you the driver/owners details of the taxi and then did Shannons give you a refund of the excess once you supplied those details?
    • Yeah to be clear I'm not naive, I'm sure all insurance companies are a bunch of arseholes who pay people bonusses based on the value of genuine claims they avoid....I just don't want to go back to one that has personally f**ked me multiple times in the past
