MOT ?
« on: December 03, 2012, 09:29:48 pm »
I had my Mot done passed no problem 2006 5dr GTI.  :happy2:
BUT, I noticed the mot tester put a thermometer down the dip stick :confused:. He had this running for 10-15min to bring the temp up. The car was running lumpy and sounded like air drawing in the dip stick chamber :scared:. Would this damage my engine or pcv, becuse since then my boost is not brilliant, and not doing so good on fuel so i replaced my DV for a revision D. as i removed the revision C there was some oil over it, its running ok but still not good on fuel or turbo :sad1:
Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks.

Dont think the tester should have aloud the car to run lumpy like that. If you have a search about the PCV test you will see why it caused the engine to run lumpy and why it now might feel low on boost.
