Seen that a few times with that o ring.

Try a g valve.

What are we looking at here Alex?

[scopes]

The O-Ring on top of the Piston, has a part missing  Will try the rev G on, could something so simple cause the problem, of it dropping down on the rev's so far it cuts out?

Well my issue isn't fixed either. Didn't have any problems for month and then twice in 30 minutes, although once again it was under boost!

Doesn't help but interesting nonetheless!

So is that an opened Forge DV I'm looking at Neil?

Yes Ayoub, that's were the spring goes, with the top/lid beside it

Have you rung Forge, explained your problem and asked for a service kit?
iirc it includes a new rubber O-ring, new piston and some grease and they sent it out for free a while back.

Yes emailed them today, with the pictures, still waiting to hear back, be early next week i would assume 

A service kit would be useful !

Well tried the OEM pcv on today, trying to rule things out... Didn't fix it, Like the pcv fix much better. I did the dipstick test and idle went funky, i did test the pcv first, that just double told me it was ok.

Anyways when i took it of, i found some of this :-

From what i'm aware this can be down to the weather, or cold/war air causing moisture...

Maybe a new gasket for the PCV fix and a good run!

 

Could a boost leak cause this to happen?

Mine looks like that all the time, is the under side of your oil cap like that? Short journeys is all I do and its like that.

When the car died... did all the clocks drop to zero too??

Hey matey

no no, the odd time i would get the milky stuff round the oil cap, but thats only on short journeys, most the other times i check it clean.
car getss serviced every 4-5k miles, always used castrol 5 - 30.
Always geniune parts.


I did clean it the other day, then checked angain the day after, it was not anywhere near as bad, so i will run it for a week and then check and again 2 weeks after that...

Anywhere i have read about this, it seems to be the cold weather, with the cold weather in, i would not get on, many longer journeys, maybe just needs a good run...

Yes rich, when the car goes to die off, the revs bounce, splutters, then just stops, the battery light then comes on, which gives me the indictation to bump start it to keep on the move, if need be...

 

hope you understand the way i have explained this????

Just thought I'd mention as my PCV looked like that till I removed it and fitted a catch can. Still get that sh1te everywhere tho, but I just give it a decent run and it goes. Don't think it's anything to do with your other fault. Hope you get to the bottom of it.

Could it be a dodgy earth / ground point or a bad battery?
