Batgirl Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Any ideas as to why my J-spec TT engine could be racing like its high on something??? I noticed it just lately especially today after driving over to Bluewater and back to Hemel. Even after I switched it off and the auto boost timer was just counting down the engine seemed to be up and down like it was going to blow up!

Dragonball Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Now guys - c'mon! Accelerator cable sticking? Pop over to see Mark Kindell - he's just around the corner in Aylesbury:thumbs: PS Check your oil as well - as I think you look like it's due a change from the rear (Oo-er missus!) PPS Yours doesn't PPSS I mean...well...I mean...someone lend me a shovel to dig my way outa this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batgirl Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Yikes - induction air leak?!!! Sounds worrying - is it simple to sort out??? Can't be worse than when my bottom (hmm seem to have a lot of problems with that area!!) crank shaft pully broke making my radiator brake!!! and now this! I don't even have time to see Mark Kindell as I'm off to sunny France on business but may be when I'm back I'll call - anyone got his number? If it's the oil needing changing is there any specific oil type the lovely Supe auto J-spec TT need to keep them on top form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 No its not expensive. Could be a simple as a tightening of a jubilee clip, could be a split hose but either way its not going to break the bank. Oil? Check out the Valvoline thread.
