Maintenance is the most important thing for a car,gotta keep up the 5,000km service.It's cheap when yo do it every 5,000km.

Check the Tech forum sticky for info on servicing and what is required. Idle problems can also be caused by clogged vacuum lines to.

I bought my car on 218,000 now its 220,300 so its hard to say what previous owner did, but im sure it needs a service.

Thx wyn, ill check that out now
Another thing i noticed was, on my intake pipe, a TINY BIT of oil, from my vaccume line to the head...
But i think i read sometimes you get that?

The one from your rocker cover to the intake isn't a vacuum line but rather a breather. Some oil in there is normal.

Lol thanks again...
I thought it had something to do with maintaining a negative crank pressure and assumed it was a vaccume line.. in a way... if any of thats right

and the sticky in the tech section was very useful so thanks again

Always keep this hose,don't put a breather valve (small air filter) on if you want your engine to last.

use some rubber gease when placing it back on if your using that same gasket.

**1996ek1** · 13-01-2008 03:35 PM

thx fatboyz, but its too late, its already back on ....

cant turbo yet, everything isnt together yet.
I might just change oil for now, turbo would be in less then 1000KM, so ill change the oil again + filter when i turbo it.

and beeza, thats what i havent worked out yet. I cant exactly keep that hose there when i turbo it, because its meant to have a negative air pressure for it work properly isnt it?
