C5 Oil Accumulation And Sluggish

[kaostheory]

Hi guys,

 

Bought a 52 plate c5 hdi 110 estate lx with 95k.

 

decided to have a proper look over the under bonnet area today and everything is extremely clean except for one part.

 

 

 

 

 

I am guessing this is an air doser valve? there is oil covering it and pooling in the cavity below it. Its not flowing and looks like its accumulated over time..

 

The car ( to me ) seems sluggish for a 110 could this have anything to do with it?

 

 

Any ideas?

I wouldnt worry to much about it.Its the pipe that comes of the inter cooler and over the years the oil vapour (if thats the right word to use) have worked there way through. drain your intercooler by taking the botom hose of and leaving it overnight and the car should be a bit more spritley

that link isn't anything to do with that I checked it out ( you checked it out when you were logged out ) or your computer is infested :unsure: .

as the pic is now gone, what does the little pipe that runs from bulkhead to the front underside valve with rubber 135 deg elbow do?

noticed today ( whilst putting in yet another H/L bulb! ) that this was off valve so pushed back in, hopefully it will solve my the sluggishness that's reappeared

without seeing what you mean the following is a guess. Id say the turbo boost pipe that runs to the boost solenoid
