Hi
I have a 53plate Combo Van with the 1.6 Petrol Engine (LPG).
Recently when the van has started making a phheert noice for about a second at a time,usually this can be provoked by a variation in engine speed, say when changing gear. But i can only ever make it do it once or twice per cold start. Everything else runs fine - engine runs a little fast, but i assume that is choke, and thence once it is warmed up and onto LPG it settles down. The sound is something liek you might get by releasing air from a ballon. Making me think that it is some sort of air/vacuum leak?
Any common places that i should start putting soapy water/gas on?
Incidentally doe these engines run cool? I can hardly get the temp gauge of the rest around town?
Give me a nice diesel any day.
Tom
