meh........

cvars been running funny lately. Once it warms up, I get a flat spot between 0 and 3000 rpm , the noise levels shoot through the roof, and I smell exhaust fumes in the cabin (like I used to get with the old F )

Hoping its just the downpipe or manifold, but not sure why only when hot.

Anyway tonight, OBD reader found misfire in cylinder 3.

Fingers crossed its just a plug/coil thing..... (I think I may have an oil leak form cam carrier...maybe its leaking into cylinder as when I got the car there was a lot of oil in that plug hole)

Send me good vibes folks...hopefully have a root around at the weekend if I can stand the heat and find some 2,000,000 sun block LOL

Sounds like a bad exhaust leak,tbh.

Fingers crossed for you that it's something simple mate :thumbsup: After the day I've had and what I have coming up I think it'd rather have an exhaust leak :lol:

TBH I might go backl to OEM exhaust as I am not sure the xpower one is working properly. When I boguht the car it was like shit of a shovel....I put on exhaust and decat and it has been like the old f since....fine when cold but poor when hot

I might need a new manifold and downpipe...now wouldn't that be a bad thing

Sorry to hear of your crap Dan, whats the problem just now?

Oooh, time for a shiney manifold and downpipe :woohoo:

What else could you have done on a Thursday :whistle:

Good luck sorting the leak and 'rebuild'

That was as well as :lol: I think that's been leakin ever since I bought the car as I've always had a slow leak that I've never been able to trace, everything else has been replaced so that was the last place it could be. Must admit, I was expecting it to be the heater matrix itself :silly:

Thanks, not going to be back together for at least a week. Should be some nice road noise to and from work next week :blink:

Broon. Have you checked the manifold isn't slightly loose at the head?
