binfieldx Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi guys, Get my import back shortly. It's had a quick service with all oils/fluids etc. I was wondering what can I do to make sure the car is running ok and not lean or anything? I'm aware it's overboosting in gear 3 up to 1.5 bar but I believe that's due to no restrictor ring. In the mean time is there anything else I can check/change? I want to take it down to the petrol garage to fill it up! (also is it worth me buying an AFM Gauge for the car to monitor?) Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasurrey Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I`d check that the crank pulley was OK and not delaminated if it were mine;) Paint a thin white line across the pulley where the rubber part is and run the engine for a while, if the line is still solid after switching the engine off you`re OK. If you`re going to fill her up, use only 98 octane, as it`s an import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Yep I shall be using Shell V-power only! Sorry if I sound stupid but which part is the crack pulley, haven't had much time to look at my engine bay...Just want to make sure I've got the exact correct thing? --- Edit It's under this part right?

suprasurrey Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Close, but no cigar I`m afraid. Follow the fan belt around to the lowest pulley on the front of the engine, that`s the crank pulley. I`d check your brake fluid as well, looks a little low in the picture:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Haha...Good thing I checked then! Brake fluids been changed already this was an older pre import photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
