I broke mine once but I didn'tdrive the car to see if it felt any different.

The only reason that I was concerned was that I didn't want any crap to get sucked in a damage the turbo blades again. If I were you, I would at least block the hole until you get a new one.

Hahaha Dean yeah it's dusty as, only realised just today. Can see all the handprints all over it from the service blokes.

Hmmm hope it's as simple as this to get back the power I feel is lacking. Unless they flashed a crappier "updated" tune onto it. The car salesman said the car was "a bit faster than usual" when I bought it but I'm sure it was a flat out lie to get me to buy hahaha. Unless cops really DO flash the cars

Hmmmm yeah non filtered air, better block it somehow. Good thing I haven't taken off yet. Any tips? don't want to stick something on there and find it GONE when I get to my destination!!

By the way, its not the PCV. If you go and buy a PCV pipe from Coventry's or the like, you won't get the correct part.

I forget the actual name but it is just some sort of breather pipe. You can just buy the plastic fitting on the end without purchasing the whole thing.

As far as a plug goes, I just bought a tapered lug that screwed into the hole and blanked it off.

I thought it was the cranckcase ventilation? It's called the PCV in the maintenance thread, and I did find oil on the underside of the intake pipe, I assume spat there from the now disconnected hose sending oily gas from the engine?

Cheers anyway, it's duct taped over, that's the best I can do for now. Looks like something you'd find on my first car the 87 XF!

I'll let you know what happens. Oh and Dean you can clean the bay for me if it bothers you, it's my day off, I can drive to you hahaha! Catch you round.
