Just a quick one, i'm working on a small number of problems i have with the car and while looking for a loose/split i/c hose my attention was turned to the OE recirculating valves........

I have a feeling that one of them is constantly open.

When i open the throttle from idle i can hear and feel one of them ping or click closed, but not the other.

Should they both close at the same time, or does this occur at different pressure?

Cheers again all,

Ian

is it over boosting? mine was and found the owner before me had tried to lengthen one of the pipe with gas pipe or something and it melted!, after about 6 hours of searching and nearly everything out from under the bonet i found where it was, just under the inlet plenum at the back next to the idle ajustment screw opposite the fuel filter
just my little experience for you sorry dont know answer to question lol!
also the over boosting blew the pipe off the intercooler near side, bumper needs off, also blew it off the back of the boost guage god only knows what the boost went to!

a bit of a hijack...what is the max boost the stock recirc valves can take?
