Sticky Turbo Vanes

[marinabrid]

hi all

this sticking trubo vane thing many folk suffer from, we are moving house soon and the car will only potter around a samll town to school and back and to tesco ,i know the missis wont walk inte rain either !

some one mentioned giving the turbo a run once a week t combat the carbon build up

just wondered how far and fast to do this to hopefully keep it running.

do you think say a 20 mile round trip at high revs would do the job

Sorry no idea about the turbo problems but just wanted to say i bought a car from Bridlington about three years ago. Whilst on holiday in Filey we were passing through Brid and i noticed a nice Beemer for sale in a garage opposite Tesco so i bought it .

Anyway thats enough of my pointless dribble.

This thread covers the sticking vanes issue

I am having trouble with my Alhambra, and thought that the vanes were sticking.

It's in the Seat dealership at the minute, they have had it for 4 days now and still haven't resolved the problem.

That is after having it for 2 days in April where they changed the N75 valve.

 

Makes you wonder if dealers actually have any idea what they are doing.

Fortunately mines under warranty so won't cost me a penny.
