prob your AMM mate, not a massive problem, its very common, does it struggle to start and cut out if you dont give revs?

[farrell123]

no mate drives fine but just like a 1litre corsa dont think it will go above 4500 revs and i think theres a strange noise coming from the turbo. you think the warrenty should be fine?

you have PM mate

If there is no visible signs of the mods you made.then probably. I do recall Throny (I think) saying there are visible signs inside a AMM if a aftermarket filter has been used though.

hopefully vauxhall isnt smart enough to see this then

its the first thing they will check

[farrell123]

say i didnt use the oil spray you get with the panel filter?

[Miller]

all come ready oiled i think

[farrell123]

no way out of it then?

[TJ]

all come ready oiled i think

courts one you have to oil yourself

[farrell123]

thats good then because i didnt oil it as i didnt know how much to put on will that mean there should be no sign of the oil in the AMM?

[farrell123]

anyone?

[Miller]

Yes, if you didn’t oil it there should be not sign, but the oil is needed to filter effectively so it maybe the course of you problem.

But if you have put everything back to standard and put the original panel filter back in I cant see how they could tell

[vxr bad boy]

first of all, you have voided the warranty on your car by using an aftermarket filter, 2nd you have a dump valve, and thirdly its as mentioned probably the amm or boost solenoid. IF you have put the car back to standard they probably wont know BUT you have admitted to decpetion on a vx forum
