Default bee-yatch! <question about AWE pressure tester?

this really peaves me. the only thing i can think of is that this occured when the Audi tech replaced the f-hose..then it slowly got larger, hence "mega limp mode" the past few weeks.

i removed and inspected this thing before taking in for service. of course maybe the stress of removing, replacing and retightening the clamp also caused the problem.

so thanks to the AWE pressure tester i was able to find the leak toot-sweet!

when you repair and re-test and you get no leaks all i hear is the air bubbling through the crank case? does this sound correct?

gotta' get out for a test drive now and see if all is OK.

You needed a pressure tester to find that? You are a disgrace to PEB

Default so does this mean you'll be "on track" tomorrow or sunday? I may have the "go" now. sunday looks

like better weather. so, if I can get my girl to finalize our weekend plans ASAP today, I may be able to race on sunday.

Charlie said we could do last minutre check-ins today.

Default nope...never got a code detecting a leak...

i plan on removing and checking the leak detection pump behind the rear fender today...that is probably the cause of the code.
