HI Chaps,
I would like to thank everybody in this forum for their help and kindness.

Unfortunately my car is quite slow , and smaller engine cars can overtake me easily on acceleration.
last time i replaced my alternator , i found quite a bit of oil in air inlet pipe to the intercooler.

does this mean i have a blocked breather pipe?
I have a diagnostic tool, shall i run a scan and see if any faults show up?
any DIY for these breather pipes change?part n etc?
never had any oil consumption issues tho i can see some traces of oil under the plastic engine covering.
I had a listen using stethoscope and the supercharger is not making any nasty noise.
cheers
 
They are not exactly the fastest cars in the world. It maybe normal. Let someone that knows them well drive it and see what they think.
 
I found the crankshaft magnets leaking at the connector...luckily looks like my car had the wiring loom blockers so no oil makes it to ECU

Do these magnet sensors still work even if they leak? Or need to replace them?
Thx
