keirz Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 check vacuum lines mate for the high idle could possibly be that.due to the small size of the ct9 it is best to keep it cooled. it should be easy enough to get a new gasket and change it while its in position i would have thought mate.

starlybruiser Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Might be worth just trying a spanner on the two nuts just to make sure you've got them tigh enough before you take it all off again when I fitted my hybrid, I put a very (And I Mean VERY LOL) thin layer of gasket sealer on there to make sure it wasnt goin to leak, as I sure wasnt goin to take it all off again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I had the same problem with the water feed leaking, turbo had to come back off Just used silicone sealer on it but the car is using water again now so im guessing its time for it all to come back off and new gasket I did question bypassing the water feeds though and the boys on TGTT said it would be fine, so I am going to try that if its still using water it looks like the problem is somewhere else Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy77 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 thas the problem its so awkward to get to i struggled to get a spanner onit but eventualy got it on by cutting the spanner in half lol. let me no how you get on by bypassing the water feeds. just incase mine springs another leak cheerz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
