[QUOTE="flyboypuoi, post: 783600, member: 25768"] Update: After a drive, I've noted a few things. 1: The sealant didn't hold the coilpack. Ah well, it doesn't normally pop out enough to lose connection and I'll get a new one soon. 2: The sealant might have limited the oil leak but it's not stopped it. As before there's even oil smoke from where it covers the exhaust. 3: That valve I was messing with. It should not be covered! The car ran like crap and kept stalling. Also, the fuel gauge, despite filling right up, only read to 2/3. When I pulled the pipe out (while it was idling) the car instantly got better, and the return journey had great power. Also the fuel gauge started climbing (Noticed the tank was very pressurised when I fuelled up, hissed very loudly when opening the cap). When I got home, before turning off the engine, I had another look. As soon as I connected the fuel vapour line, it hesitated and nearly stalled. In fact, I then noticed that there was a hissing sound. The valve is pulling air hard and covering it both sucked my thumb in and nearly stalled the engine again. I'm wondering if I should instead attach it to the air intake... or just leave it open. I guess really now it's just a valve that opens to the intake once the engine is at operating temperature. Maybe I should disconnect the valve. Also the fuel tank should probably have a pressure relief. It's not like it's all going to evapourate out of the pipe anyway, there is a valve closer to the tank according to the diagram. [/QUOTE]
