where can i buy some new ones without having to buy a new blow off valve kit? i had a boost leak and found the end had blown out of one of the bung thingys that blocks off the re-circ valve so i took the valve off and replaced it with a 28mm copper stop end then the other side went so i did the same but i cant use them to replace the bungs on the bottom of the induction pipe due to the material the pipe is made of and the bungs are showing signs of perishing, if these go all together my engine will run lean so i need to find some asap! any ideas? i asked at the local plumbing gear suppliers nd they couldnt think of owt and told me to try halfords but i doubt they would sell anything like that?

:nana2: B&Q or Homebase thats where i got all my stuff from

champion cheers bud

Any know if the recircs can be removed without removing the front bumper?

i did, i just removed the nose panel then jacked her up and lay underneath but i have an aftermarket bumper and induction kit on so may have other things removed which would help access

You can do it all through the nose-panel.

 

Just remove your airbox/induction kit

 

As for those other 2 bungs, I know what you mean as they are a short plastic tube. Your two options:

1) Buy a short piece of hose and bung it with a copper stop-end like before. (Preferred)

2) Buy a broom handle end or chair leg end of the right diameter.

thanks lads, it will be done while the engine is out so access shouldnt be a problem

never thought of that! this guys a genius! :D ! im bound to have somethin lyin round after owning 2 rs turbos and a sierra cosworth! :rofl: :rofl:

Dont forget you will have to move the oil cooler out the way and take out the aux fan too, other wise you wont get to the bolts round the back of the recircs which are a bit awkward to get to

got mine out no bother :D
