I managed to get hold of a brand new airbox from Citroen. I phoned all the scrappys around but they were all to pricey or didn't have the right part..
I've tried to clean up my throttle and sensors today with a bit of carb cleaner (half heartedly I'll admit, as I was in the middle of cleaning my whole car) and fitted the air box.. Bit of a bodge job at the moment as I didn't have all the connecting pipes. Theres one I know I need which goes from the waste gas (?!) release in the rocker cover to the air box.. And there's another gaping hole in the air box, around 800mm across, underneath the main intake. I have no clue what this is for but it's taped up with gaffer tape at the moment!
But over all I'm please with it.. Engine is alot quiter now, and doesn't vibrate as much.. Also I thought the car was misfiring when it was decelerating at around 2k RPM but this has completely gone now..
Oh and just to ruin all my hard work.. It's decided to rain straight after I've just washed the pissin' car! |
