Hi Davy, It might be the EGR ( exhaust gas recirculation ) valve . Lynn

Hi again, full tank of fuel... and just use it as normal, didn't you get the seal conditioner too ? Gas does the top rings, seal conditioner is for the valve stem oil seals Lynn

Ian, did you see what I said about the DFC ???? Lynn

Oh Ian I thought you weren't talking to me lol Thanks, I'm getting it over the pit tomorrow. YES! roflmao Lynn

Thanks Mike, OK... I pumped the pedal until it went hard, started the engine with foot to the floor, the pedal pushed up straight away. Lynn

Thanks DELLSMP,I will ask them to check that out, I told the last garage they needed to take the car in the night before, he said" I'll leave it to stand for a few hours" of course..... the braked were fine when he checked them. Lynn

Thanks stevie1, hmmm I had had new quality pads fitted, two callipers ( they used to stick)Oh and worn disc's have been replaced.( badly worn) This problem occurs even in the summer months, the car is parked up the drive, it gets the early morning sun, plus when it pours down or I go...

I have a Lexus GS 300 L reg ( I know old donkey ) had the car for 3 years now, this problem has been there from day 1 well... morning 1 When I drive the car from stone cold I hardly have any brakes at all, if I leave it running for a couple of minutes, then move off and brake it improves , by...

Or Sulphuric acid :wink: roflol Lynn

ratm, I thought I was being "good" by saying no, you stinker lol

NOPE!

OOPS! I forgot, nearly all the forte products are used a s a preventative measure too, they are not just for curing problems. The seal conditioner can be used in petrols, diesels, and in the diff ( except for limited slip) Lynn

Hi Davy007, Let us know how you get on. AS for the cost of the work.... I ain't got a clue lol But if it was me.... given the age of the car I would just go a good independent. Lynn

HI ratm, GOOD man lol. AS you correctly say there is always a risk when flushing high mileage engines, but, if its a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea, then you have to make a choice, to flush or not to flush. Over the years I used and sold Forte I never wrecked an engine, I...

I use the term " guys" all the time, even on my Shih Tzu group, where all the members are ladies. :wink: You know what, I wish I could send some Forte for you to try, I only have the bit I purchased from E Bay ( I haven't worked for the company for 4 years now). Back in the days when I was...

roflol Awwww thats not nice ratm :cry: Lynn x

HI Davy I think the product you used is just an oil thickener, the gas and flush I told you about work very well ( only if its a contamination problem with the rings), seal conditioner for hardening and shrinking of the rings again is excellent if there are no bits broken from the seals...

Sounds like valve stem oil seals or sticking rings, what additive did you use ? Forte do an excellent range of additives, use the gas treatment in a full tank of fuel ( the longer its in the system the more work it does ) so that will clean the top rings, then you could use their engine flush...

Thanks Jonny as I feared ( a new engine) I bet every valve and piston is smashed, I was just praying it was one of those engine that would escape the wrath of the belt . I called my son this morning to try and convey to him how much damage there could be ( he thinks after a new belt he will...

Help please My poor son purchased a Passat 3 weeks ago ( 1.8 20 valve) tonight his car spluttered and stopped,( he was traveling at about 35 mph) the cam belt has snapped, and 8-9 teeth have been sheared off. Is there an easy way to check if he has valve damage with out taking the head off ...
