Guest tanzx Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I noticed a gurgling sound from f/near side - can be heard from inside car. I did a search and found same question from keith with a reply directing to TwinTurbo Net - AIV cleaning/rebuild. Does this really hlp - seems alot of work. Will any harm happen if left as it is?

Guest keith s Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Take a look at this, all i did is pull the hose of and drain it and then drilled a hole where the red arrow is so that i dont have to again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopLess Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Just rip em out and plug the exhaust hole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danhock Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 What is it for?? This is what i found. The gurgling was Oil and the filter in the box above it was full of it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopLess Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 It is just something created for US emmisions, rip it out!!!!!! The series II's didn't have it do another search, on TTnet FAQ's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syko Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 from what I remember its just a glorified air pump to clean the cats on overrun so when it gets some water in it it starts to gurgle hence the reason to drill small drain hole.

Guest Timmy_Turbo Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Mark is right, useless bloody things. I drilled the hole which stopped mine gurgling for about a day or two. Gonna take mine out...soon as the noise drives me up the Pope John Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tanzx Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 So if Richard is right that it's for the cats - if my cats are coming out shortly when I redo the exhaust, then they have no function? So what parts need to be removed? Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robtor Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I thought when they are clogged it starts to run ~10% rich or so. What makes it do that, ie would removing them put it back to normal or make a constant 10% rich setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC 1 Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Mine are still fitted,they have never ever made a noise in over 3 years,but they won't be on for much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timmy_Turbo Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 ECU over compensates by around 10 percent on the fuel consumption if the AIV's are blocked/gurgling/annoying the driver. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raydetinu Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I have this gurgling, but no cats as 91 import? drilling drain hole seems simplist solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 ...took mine out 2 years ago. no difference at MOT time re Co2 etc etc read outs. Car goes faster cos it weighs less. It needs to, it's an NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
