Major air leak - Saxperience

WestCoastJosh · 1st August 2009, 10:06

My car has suddenly decided it wants to leak for no reason

Take off the filter and cover the throttle and it keeps on running. All vacuum hoses are secure and fitted properly, could it be the inlet gasket?
As i cant really tell where its coming from so the gasket is my only solution.

saw you yesterday by asda in great barr

id check the inlet gascet or maybe even the inlet itself for cracks etc

spray a solvent like brake cleaner etc.. over the area you think it is so it temporay seals it so then you have an idea where to look i found my air leak on vtr by doing that... hope this helps

It will idle due to air coming through the ICV (you probably knew that though?). Hope I'm not stating the obvious. Above sugestion is a good idea though

inlet gasket, cracked inlet, dodgeyl tb connection, icv, map joint, perished hose? check all hose properly, a perished hose could be n noticeable and cause this
