Tadek Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I already checked all the lines i could see. Everything looked intact. I started a previous thread and was guided by VS. Everything they told me to check turned up being fineRemove all the lines to inspect them! Otherwise you will not be able to tell their condition. You might want to check the diaphragm of the recirculating valve in the turbo's compressor housing. You do not have to remove this to check it, just connect a vaccum hose to the connection, where the original vaccum hose is connected. Then suck on that hose. If the diaphragm does not hold the vaccum, it is torn. You should check the checkvalves of the crankcase ventilation (PCV) and the one going to the charcoal canister of the EVAP system es well.Good luck!Cheers,Tadek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueSteer Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Sounds like a leak somewhere in your intercooler or piping. A torn vaccum line wouldnt cause that, I had the same symptoms you described when I blew up my intercooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
