Squeak noise coming from the Plenum
Turbo Mini Forums

Just started the car, and there is this squeak noise coming from the Plenum. i tryed the excelator, but it only reves a little.
so i put my hand at the bottom/back of the Plenum, and it feels like air is being sucked it from the gasket .
would that be the problem then to why it squeaks ?
if so, should i take it off and put some wellseal on the gasket.

Hope you can help :)
Cheers lads.

Either theres a mouse in there, or

Youve got a gasket leak, check the faces are clean and smooth, gasket is not torn, and then put it back in

You shouldnt need any sealer on there really

Hi,
Have you fitted the right gasket?
The turbo gaskets are different with an extra hole.
Cheers,

theres something else going on here.. really blocked airfilter perhaps!? you shouldt have that much of a vaccuum in the plenum. imho ofcource!

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

rag in one of the pipes you forgot to take out?

to get it started just leave the plenum pipe open t bypass the turbo. wont hurt anything just as a test if you cant get it started.

the bit Bat is on about will only apply if you start having issues when it comes on boost. they have a hole from the plenum to the float chamber that doesnt exist in all gaskets so make sure its there/the gasket is the right way round

Errrmm, well im not gonna even say what i didn't do to the bottom gasket pipe that link's to the pipe coming from the Plenum

Eh? so there was no big hole in the gasket going from the plenum to the carb?

Hi,
Well it's amused me at least, so it was a job well done :)
Never mind at least you're not taking the head off to find the problem!
Cheers,

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Doofus!!

Thats better than my ball joint saga

Brilliant! LOL!

Whenever people mention the difference between the turbo/na carb gasket we will think of this!

Did you get the one with the extra hole?

LOL!!
