  5. Hi guys As a new supra owner this noise has worried me My engine is stock bar a airfilter (which i can hear the standard bov going on liftoff etc) Im getting a intermittant Fluttering noise around 2.5-3.5 Rpm and when on the gas going down the road. I dont know if this is normal but when i pulled up and revved the engine it did the same noise, got futher down the road stopped, revved, No noise this time? When i got home it also didnt make the noise.. I have heard this noise on other occastions but this is the first time ive took notice of it Any ideas chaps? Ric.

  14. Hi guys and gals Selling here my old Fluidyne radiator i believe its around 3 years old although its only been fitted to my car for around 2 months All the fins are in pretty decent nick Im looking for around £45 collected.. Here the catch The radiator has started leaking from around the joins on the top of the tank (near the rad cap) Now, i've been told the radiator is made from brass and the joins can easily be repaired i was quoted £30 while i waited.. But im unable to get to the repairers for around 2 weeks and i cant afford the car to be off the road that long so i just bought a new ali one from martin. which will be here on fri so no waiting (really) Pictures show where the leaks are (colours on the fins are from where the coolant leaked down) Has the auto cooler connection pipes and is a stright swap for a TT Will come on the original fluidyne box.

  17. rip it off bash and sell it me problem solved
  18. a little more than i have atm thanks though
  19. if it was turbo seals then it would happen everytime to rev the car. Valve stem seals only burn the oil every few seconds because its the force of gravity which lets the oil past the buggered seals Overnight oil will leak down and be burnt when you start it. Leave it for a while and the oil will again to leak down the seals with the force of gravity and blip it again... pufff But rev it again stright after and not enough time has been given for the oil to drip down past the seals so it doesent do it again.. If the turbo oil seals had gone it would be leaking everytime the turbo spooled up and it would be pretty constant as oil is always flowing through the turbos
  20. thats valve stem seals, 100% turbo oil seals will be puffing smoke all the time.. when on full boost you wouldnt be able to see behind you cus of the smoke check the iC pipes for oil, there should only be a thin coating if theres excessive oil in there then turbo seals but as i said if it was those it would be smoking all the time.
  21. probably around the clocks, although i dont actually know as i never fitted one to a TT
