  • This VXR was brought in with a few faults but the owner only wanted the vacuum leak sorted out which turned out to be a cracked cam cover.

    Nice bit of patient fault finding. Good work. 🙂 Thanks for another outstanding AMS video. Cheers Andy.
    NB: I wonder how many parts a lot of garages would have thrown at that in the off chance. You've done the rigth thing by your customer. Good man.

      Cheers Wilf! I’m not a fan of trying parts without testing but yes, a lot of garages do do this which is a shame but those particular garages continue to get work and repeat customers 🤷🏻‍♂️
      The best part is the fault finding for me anyway 😁

    I think the PCV flapper is behind that vent. The silicone valve eventually tears.

    I have an issue with my corsa vxr.P2187 fault and raugh idle misfires .we unplug the hose behind the rocker cover and we block the thin pipe with the valve that goes to the manifold.The problem is in thos thin pipe or the pcv.

      Sounds likely to be the PCV buddy.

      @@ThePao19081 If disconnecting the pipe from cam cover makes it run better then you have your answer. Of course make sure the pipes aren’t blocked at all but it sounds like you need a new cam cover
