Well i got some bad news for me but i thought i would share it. When my motor is cold it makes a slight knocking sound when the revs pick up just above idle round 1000-1200. u can only really hear it if u got the bonet popped and u are infront of the motor. Anyhow i told one of the mechanics i work with about it so i showed him the noise and he said " dude your about to spin a bearing". So that wasnt great news but then he said it could be the balancer or a heat shield. ANyhow i had to take my car to this mechanic place coz of a warranty thing and i got him to listen to the noise aswell and wizz bang he said the same thing. Stuffed if i know what im gonna do. I mean it could last for a while but then it might not, engines are unpredictable as im sure u all know. It sucks coz i have only had the car for 2 months and i already have troubles. Combination of little ones and big ones. Maybe i just bought a dud. i can only just afford the car as it is. I tell ya i just wasnt meant to have an easy life.

same thing happened to my mums car. Had to buy a new engine cos she kept drivin it around with the ticking noise problem. If that is what you are talking about i wouldn't drive it till it's fixed.

Tough luck man, my mum knows how you feel.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
