Default S1 air leak..UPDATE.26/1

some of you might remember last month my car was running bad after being taken to the garage....£80 later it was sorted.

WELL.......

MOT last week it came back the same....idleing bad, and if you touched the accelerator it would do the same...putting constant, lack of power ect...like a spark lead had come lose.

Back to the garge Monday and collected Monday afternoon. He said it was a air leak and said...

"Ive fixed it for now, it was a air leak, its fixed till the next time"

didnt ask him where the leak was as i had to get my daughter from school....the cars bill is in the post so dont know the price damage yet.

Tonight i thought better get some petrol as ive booked the car for a rolling tune....and yep its F**ked again. Started it and its stuttering as soon as you hit the pedal.

Ive forked £275 on the MOT and last month i forked £200 on bits and £80 on getting this problem sorted. he changed the spark plugs and leads which fixed it then. Now the other boss said its a Air leak.

I am skint and have my tax this month.....ive looked over the engine yesterday afternoonand my boost pipe ect are secure, everything looks how it should be.


Any ideas where a air leak or block would be??? this has happened twice now......could rain be getting in a pipe somewhere?? my car is on a slope, front end on the down slope.

anyone???
