Liam T G60 ... ?

 

Ah ok so he's also posted about a 'valver'. My guess ... he has a G60 but may think it's 16v? Or he just has two in which case he's clearly mad.

tough one, they all seem to do it at some point. assuming it is a g60....

 

check throttle cable, butterfly valve on throttle body, unplug isv/check for buzz with ignition on (likely cause), unplug blue temp sender, check for air leaks on inlet mani. check for damage to vac hoses from throttle body (fairly likely).

 

i have a couple of isv's and have some vac hose in the garage.

I want to upgrade my engine as im beginning to find it hard to source parts for the 1.816v.... any ideas????

 

I was thinking a 1.8t or for ease vr6 conversion. obviously im asking questions in rite place as i can imagine few conversions hav been done here????

VR6 conversion on a 1.8 16v is certainly not easy buddy. you have to change EVERYTHING! 1.8t will be much easier for you, comparatively.
