Air Leak
« on: 15 March 2009, 19:58:10 »
Please see the photo below.

Basically i have an air leak at either side of the black thingy where i have arrowed. Sprayed carb cleaner around yesterday and i've pinpointed exactly where it is. it seems as though it is maybe a bit lifted at the front. Is there a gasket or o-ring or something underneath it which may need replacing?

Hi, is the leak from underneath the part marked or from the seam in the part itself?

 The top of the part you've marked just clips on and there is a bolt underneath that hold the rest on to the plenum :).

The black thing sits in the middle of the plenum and theres a small gap down either side of it. The air leak is in that gap at the front.

Have you removed it from the plenum to see if the o-ring is intact or even there :question.

The part in the pic. that Stemom has supplied is in fact 2 pieces sealed together, are you sure that this seal has not come apart at the front where you say it's leaking from :question.

Don't know tbh, i just know that i could hear an air leak and when i squirted carb cleaner around it the engine kind of "stalled" when it was sprayed there.
