I am trying to find another boost leak as it sound like its got a little worse. It sounds like its coming from the back of the engine right in the middle. I have taken off the balance bar, moved the wiring loom out of the way and had a look but I cant really see any hoses there which could be turbo related. There are 2 or 3 quite wide ones which seem to go into the bulk head which I presume is air con related.

 

Are there any vacume hoses back there? I cant pressurise it at the moment because the balance bar is off but if I put it back on it will hinder my view of the back of the engine.

 

Advice please.

Have you got any other evidence of a leak? Mine hisses slightly from around there but I think it might just be the aircon feeds hissing, doesn't really sound like an air escaping type of hiss...

Stuart,

 

I believe the EGR is down there - http://home.swipnet.se/e-solutions/Vacuumleak.html

Yeah it sounds like a snake is down there. ;) and the fact of when its pressuried to about 6psi, it all goes in about 10 seconds.

Does any one know how to get at the EGR valve as it is right at the back and hard to get to.

 

Any ideas any one?
