hello.
I just bought a new bleed valve on ebay (the old one was a bit crap and didnt work when you adjusted it etc). Anyway, it came in the post today so off came the one one and the new shiny silver one is on in its place.
The problem now is that the valve is set to off but the car is boosting to like 2.5 bar obviously this is bad so i stopped boosting but its defo set to off and its brand new.
Right, my theory is that the bleed valve has 3 bits to connect hoses to. look here
It has the 2 normal connectors and then a 3rd sticking out the bottom. Am I right in saying that with the bottom one being left unconnected, it is basicly making a leak and so its boosting to whatever it wants, as if the hose was taken off altogether? Would blocking the bottom connector sort this? or am i completly wrong . otherwise, can you fit a bleed valve backwards? and im also assuming that, screwed all the way in is OFF
cheers!
