Hi chaps, is it possible to replace without removing the plenum, havn't had a chance to have a look and wont see the car before the weekend now and kinda need to know if I'm going to do it or not depending on plenum removal...

Cheers

That valve would be a bastard to change in the car. We had one of those 2 hoses off the other day and it took 1/2hr of swearing 2 people to do. You will have to pull of heaps of stuff to get it out

Ongoing problem with high idle, it's the only thing left, a few other people with the same problem have had sucess changing it.
You didn't clean out the throttle bodies, did you?

yeah exactly - once youve given the throttles a good clean they will leak :thumbsup: was just looking in the manual to see what the "coating" is but it doesn't say. Anyway....don't clean them!

There is the least amount of room on the 32 compared to the 33 and 34.

I know about the plenum, did it twice, as the first time it didn't seal properley :/ I was using the cometic gaskets, I'd strongly suggest using some loctite copper gasket sealant, if you want to know the exact product I can have a look tomorrow.

Havn't bothered with the idle valve yet, got some other stuff to do so I'm just going to leave it to last.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
