forge D/V staying open, problem?
I'm hearing the DV staying open on my car as I start accelerating, when i chnge gear it still whoooshes, but when you drive along I can hear the air still coming from it escaping.
i've sprayed it with silcone lubricant ans it still sticking open.
is it a DV problem that can be fixed or is it broke.
btw.. this is on my smart car but think the principle will still be the same on any car?
