Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

EGR Valve causing humming?

Spazdarn · 2015-05-13 08:38:50

Went to the garage the other day, and my mechanic said I've an oily EGR valve, and it'll need to be replaced. Just wondering if this could be the cause of the faint humming sound that's coming off the engine, or is it likely another issue?

EGR can coke up but if there is oil on it something else is wrong

if you have a turbo it could be leaking oil seals
