Anybody in the area found a way to pressurise the system to find leaks? Got the gear to do it still?

Fancy lending a helpless SXOCer a hand finding his leaks?

:) Pizza on offer as always, or your choice of other healthy takeaways.

Done that ;)

He's usually a busy chap though, so if anybody else has the gear all help would be appreciated!

Sounds fun :)

Any idea what would be needed to search for leaks? Bung up both ends then pump it up with some kind of pump, listen for hissing

IIRC a d size battery, a aa battery and something big enough to block up the pipe that connects to throttlebody... dare i say it, do a search :wack:

need some way of pressurising the system, get it to a set pressure and see if it leaks out basically...

me cars dead at the mo, left the map light on all night :rolleyes: just charging battery now... then off out when it all works... hopefully its just the battery!
