Saabmansi Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Hello all - I’ve been on a bit of a wild goose chase with a noise I have on my XV. It can only be described as a sound similar to a ‘gazoo’, which changes tone with the revs and seems to periodically cause the car to smoke excessively. I thought I’d finally found the culprit in the vacuum solenoid, but turns out the noise is travelling along a thin vacuum pipe (clipped to the inlet manifold) to the vacuum pump - I proved this be blowing into it and the sound resonated from the pump all the way through the pipe. So, my question is are these pumps serviceable, as I notice there are 3 bolts keeping it together. If so, where can I purchase such a kit? Other options would be to buy second hand or new. Any help will be very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyfoz Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 The vacuum pump on my 1017 Levorg has been noisy since I got the car more than 4years ago with no ill effects. There are a few used ones for sale on eBay, depending on whether yours is diesel, petrol, 1.6, or 2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
