Cheers Dave

Right I'm back in the road hurrrrayyyy another turbo fitted (scrap one I know not ideal but its all I could afford at the time) its no longer smoking but still suffering limp mode does this mean more likely to be a sensor issue?

I've just had to pay £68 for one from fords today my mark 2 tdi

Turns out my oil feed pipe has also split so more added expense ohhhh well should all be sorted by the morning now fingers crossed

Turbo being replaced tomorrow fingers crossed

Mine did but for some reason doesn't work now which is a pain because I'm quite forgetful too lol

Is it smoking engine or exhaust?

Smoke could be turbo related which my galaxy currently has to

I know this is a long shot but any mechanics free bank holiday Monday that have the know how and tools to replace a turbo in Merseyside area? Been badly let down and vehicle is required for work assp

Ok mike I'd be interested in how you get in. Out of interested what engine have you got?

Ok thanks

Cheers

Mines the same goes into limp mode at 2200rpm Mate is replacing turbo this weekend so fingers crossed

Actually quite annoyed I was told to use 5w30 but turns out it should 5w40 oil Well got hold of another turbo getting it done over the weekend see if it sorts it Would this cure limp mode?

Wouldn't the smoky start up be the signs of the turbo hinting its on its last legs?

Got the ABS light which is going on and off intermittently 00287 ABS wheel speed sensor rear right (g44) Not had chance to physically inspect yet but any boffins believe the sensor needs blowing or likely to require a new sensor?

Actually just looking at a different turbo now and going to hope for the best managed to get a scrap one I know it's not ideal but can only go with the funds I have I'm really crossing my fingers and hoping it cures the limp mode

Thanks ill look into it

Fair enough Might just buy a 115bhp engine instead

Hmmmm not happy but thanks for the advice will look into it I have no choice but to keep driving as its my living so fingers crossed it holds out until I have the cash

A mate mentioned remapping my 90bhp and I wondered if anyone has had it done and is it worth the money???

Just noticed the oil consumption and it seems to be eating the stuff just took it to a mate he reckons the turbo is about to go which isn't good news for me so its either a recon or a scrap one :-(

I shall look into it

Oil bottle reads the following spec api sl/cf acea a1 /b1 ford m2c 913a/b That's all it states

It's just a 5w30 semi synthetic oil I've always used
