help loud noise near airfilter area in the engine bay.
hey guys, i hae this annoying noise that i could also hear while in my car. is it normal? i do have 159000 mile on m car. on the video of where im pointing at is where it is loud.. keep in mind, i alrady changed out my belt, tensioner, idler pulley, sprag bearing. maf, water pump ... car feels a little laggy at times. like the car just feels like the rpms are. throttle response not responsive and did the reset already. i feel like im missing out a part to also replace due to high mileage.

where would that be located at ?
to describe what im talking about is that the car feels heavy when i step on the gas and seems like i waste more gas at times because i step on the pedal harder than i use to. it doesnt take off like it use to.

There are hoses and joiners all over the place. Weaving its way between the manifold and the cylinder head is a 1/2 inch hose. Squeeze it and if it feels hard or mushy its gone bad.
There is also another hose between the rocker cover and the intake manifold.
This is a 4 or 5 hour job. You need to loosen the intake manifold, use a hoist and also replace the coolant link as it normally snaps when touched.
Look at the attached photos when I did my friends overhaul.
Covers off, airbox removed.
Parts kit
* Valve
* Crank hose
* Cam hose
* Elbow shaped hose
* Joiner hose to valve
* Special preset clamps (avoids over-tension)
* Manifold gaskets
* Fuel injector O-rings if you dismantle the fuel rail.
Coolant link always breaks (very cheap) Left side of engine

The end result was a massive improvement in fuel economy and significant torque improvement between 1000rpm - 2000rpm (below the supercharger cut-in).
I was using 98 octane fuel and I reset the engine controller with the diagnostic and cleared the learning. I made an ignition correction by specifying only 93 RON fuel and higher.

I will try to find the paperwork. The list was comprehensive and may be more than your mechanic will use. Though I hasten to add that the parts are included for a reason.

Given your mileage, vibration at speed is usually bearings as you appear to have done everything else.
Did you also replace your thrust arm bushes and camber bush ?

If your looking for the 12 dollar hose replacement. A 203 018 1282 is not valid no more. They change the hose again. I was there this morning trying to get another hose. while my engine is apart for timing chain. I didn't have time to wait around for the girl to search for the new hose part #. I just ordered my other things and left.

Good luck with the breathers. I think you are on the right track.
Can you post that video again but get someone to rev the car up from idle a few times.
Have a decent roadforce wheel balance done. This is not the first time you have suffered shakes.

A 271 018 12 82 - i got this hose from Autohausaz.com - it recently broke on the crankcase end because it had been attached with a screw clamp - the clamp seems to have been overtightened and cut right thru it. Managed to reattach i after taking out the piece that broke off, but I am about to order another one. replaced the clamp with a squeeze one.
