After my little event the other day and a huge plume of smoke out the back, I have found this pipe off...

 

What does it do, pushed it back in now.

 

 

 

Thanks Mark

It's a breather pipe mate-the pcv valve is in the other end-clean it,refit with loctite! ;)

Would this cause bad tick over?

Ticking over much nicer now. Could have been off for ages.

 

Also, just reved her up and loadsa oil out exhausts? could this be part of that too?

Deffo fook up the idle!-the smoke could possibly be from this too,need to run it and see if it clears.

Ill go out now for a little blast.

 

Cheers bud. Let you know what shes like when I get back.

blew quite a bitta smoke out on boost. Got beeped by another car, lol.

 

Took the pipe right out, 6 inch long piece of black rubber.

 

Whats the bit inside, is that the actuall PCV valve?

 

Lots of oil in that pipe, cleaned it all out and loctited it back in.

 

All seems ok now, yay. Cheap fix luckily, dont need no more 4 figure jobs!!!

Good man!-the 'bit inside' is a restrictor mate,pcv is what the other end of the pipe connects to. ;)

Just a thought but if it blew the pipe out,it could be pressurised!-keep an eye on it or pull dipstick whilst running and see if there is excessive pressure.

could be the pcv's are blocked/fooked!

brand new ones mate, they were done when head gasket was done. Dip stick was securely in there!

Id done some hard right hand cornering for a bit before (few laps of a roundabout) Smithy said something about some special valves track day people use to stop this from happening.

 

As it happened right after that, im putting it down to that.

 

Mind you, it has been ticking over badly for a while ?!?!? and now its not

AH!-quite possibly then!-the idle is down to the pipe mate, hence why it's o.k. now!
