Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Chuck a bit of fuel injector cleaner in a full tank fo a tenners worth of hope?

I'm adamant it's an intake temp issue

Hard as fuck. Love it.

@Jung we need a recent pic of the Fury

Finally spoke to the mechanic who looks after it, he fully agrees with Fixedwheelnut - either a blocked breather or the fuel pump is toast.

I'll ask Matt to pop the filler cap, and if that doesn't work a car-park based pump replacement.

I've changed my mind looking at the engine pic. I reckon the air/fuel mix is fucking up - vapourising/condensing/something - as the temperature changes when it passes over the hot engine.

Wrap the black and purple hoses in that shiny blanket heat shield stuff and cut a fuck off hole in the top of the bonnet.

At 70mph I don't think that the air is going to be hot:

I was thinking of the change in temp from super-cold mega-intercooled intake air to dense and warm over-the-engine post-blower air.

Ah, air is going the other way - turbo is between the engine and the firewall, air comes in from the air-filter, compressed and heated by the turbo there, travels over the top of the engine into the intercooler, then chilly and dense air goes from the bottom of the intercooler directly into the throttle body, which is between the engine and the rad/intercooler pack.

Have you considered killing the car to death then buying a 5y/o 1.6 tdi A3?

The car is in Strasbourg and we've just cut ourselves off from Europe

1. Move steering wheel to in front of other seat
   
2. Sell it in Yerp for lovely delicious Euros
   
3. Convert delicious Euros to shitty Pounds
   
4. Profit
   

Looks like you're safe then. Just buy a new car.

I might wait to see what happens to our currency first

Innit? No one should be that rich

It's going to go down the toilet. Invest in cars.

And oil just got cheaper.

Invest in cars with massive engines.

You're right. Fuck it, booked a test drive in an RS6 Avant next week.

I overtook one on my biek today with the number plate RS6 1 FLY. Shit number plate but the car looked mean as heck.

If we can't chase down this fuel fault then I am buying a 964.

New one or C6 model? I'm going C6 - a V10 twin turbo has to be better than a piddly V8 twin turbo, no matter what the figures say.

I'll buy the Volvo for cheaps. Maybe.

It's not just about size, what if there is something blocking it inside, it isn't flowing correctly, etc allowing heat to build up. The only way of knowing is measuring post intercooler IATs

Nice
