Hi guys. All of a sudden my GT has decided that it wants to idle at about 500 rpm. At the same time the auxillary belt that runs the alternator screeches its tits off. I know theres a minor oil leak which may have collected on the belt so that may explain the screeching however the low idle...? Any thoughts? Maybe an Idle control valve fault or something like that? Thanks, Josh

Just posted this in the "off topic" section as wont let me post in the sales section so: Hi guys, i have a bunch of interior stuff since stripping my GT, they are never gonna go back in. Im not really interested in selling them, i just want them gone as they are taking up valuable space and i may be moving house soon. I also have Two TMIC's in good working order, one with a mesh cover but it is broken. I have carpet, rear bench seat aswell as seat backing, body panel trims from inner rear quarters, Also the trims that cover the access holes to the rear shocks. Anyone know of anyone or want anything themselves then give me a txt on 07514577872. I WONT send them. Collection only guys. I live in Kent South east. thanks, Josh

Ugh....yh mine is leaking too and gotta do it soon. Only after i took off the crank pulley did it start to leak. I think the biggest trouble will be getting the crank sprocket off. As age of the cars means its prob gonna be tight as f**k

Headgasket maybe?

Have u checked all boost hoses? If it hits peak pressure then drops it could be leaking from somewhere i.e intercooler piping etc

I have exactly this issue too. I think it may be thermostat as stated above. Im not sure but may be that the thermostat is stuck open so takes longer for the coolant to reach its optimum temp. I havnt got round to replacinf mine yet but id reccomend doing that first i think they are pretty straight forward to change looking at where they are located. If u do decide to go for it and change it, PM me and let me know if its made a difference.

Sounds like fuel cut to me tbh. Could be actuator getting stuck

The engine light never came on when hitting fuel cut on monday evening which is when i adjusted it. My boost gauge packed up so i drive like a granny to work and adjusted it right first time using a V.A.G tool. Drove it home yesterday fast and was fine. The Just popped on this morning whilst driving fairly quick.

Hi guys my engine light came on today whilst driving to work. I let it warm up for five mins on idle the drove another few mins before booting it a few times. I only just set up the actuator yesterday and hit fuel cut 3 times making whilst afjusting it. Now running at 0.8 bar on hybrid meshed turbo with FMIC, decat, standard mani. There has been no loss of power either and no additional noises that wernt already there. Any ideas? I know it needs a flash tool to connect to diagnostic port which, may i say, is a wank idea. Should just have an OBD port but suppose its a bit old for that. Car is a 1995 GT. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Josh

Okay thanks. So ya think it will be alright to run without a BOV for now?

Hi guys. Just literally got my GT back on the road yesterday and i get shit loads of chatter back through the turbo. Its meshed at the moment just so i could take it out and set up the actuator as am running a hybrid. Im assuming i get all the chatter because either the spring in BOV piston is too stiff or its blcoked some how. Also has anyone set up an actuator on the CT9 Hybrid? Measurements of boost pressures would be appreciated. Im currently working off the measurements for a thread on setting the HKS one up however the internal wastegate arm lengths differ from CT9 to the CT9 hybrid. Also will i be okay running a mesh? I should have pipework and a filter turning up today but gonna run it without until the actuator is set up as gives me much better access Thanks, Josh

I know its probably the first thing you did but have you checked the battery? Sounds like a flat battery to me
