My thoughts are the same
But check all the intercooler hoses we just played with just in case

jamesinc

I went over them all. Unless it's popped out down the bottom at the IC itself. In any case hurry up and get those new hoses ordered :P

I have a boost leak tester I made for the 740, I'll attach that and see about leaks tonight.

It's usually the hardest one to fix

jamesinc

There it is.

Pop goes the weasel

Glad it was something you were going to replace anyway!

jamesinc

Betsy now has silicone air hoses from do88.se, and a new PCV system from Rockauto. Still to do are the tie rod ends. Car is running and boosting much better now.

Replace the coolant tank already

I dunno, that seems like more of a Shelbyville idea.

And the windscreen leaks all along its top edge. CBF, calling glass guy, new windscreen time.

Common problem. I think the seal is pushed into the gap and held in with sealant

Someone has had a go at sealing it in the past, and the windscreen is not an OE windscreen so it's obviously been smashed and replaced at some point. There are many references around the Internet to people having sealing issues with aftermarket windscreens.

My screen has been replaced twice. One because of the weird Vic (practice) and I have had it done because of a rock. I fixed the Vic one by pulling the strip out cutting away the goop and re-sikaflexing it held until the rock got the better of it.

Someone on reddit gave me a great tip - put glad wrap over the windscreen. The water causes it to stick and no further water gets into the seal. Genius.

Reminds me of the diy $1 fleshlight solution on reddit
Plastic wrap solves everything

Booked for new windscreen Wednesday. This time at least they can come to me, NFI why we had to take Nina's car to the warehouse. I think it was because they were sceptical of my trim comments. The windscreen has a minor chip in it also which is annoying and I will be glad to see it go.

jamesinc

Welp, that explains the leaks:

All repaired now.

Rob

how did you fix it?

AshDVS

Thats a fair bit of rust! and in some not so nice areas.
