chrispb123456 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 Hi FredWhen you said the garage had checked the oil pressure was this just at tick over or did they do a high RPM test aswell, this could also show up relief valve or partially blocked sump strainer Quote

fredthomas Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 well here we go again, got the car back finally, turbo fitted, welding done new rear brakes etc, but it has absolutely no go in it whatsoever, it will get to 60 mph down hill with a following wind but up hill forget it, now i need to get under neath it and see what has not been done, this car is turning out to be too much trouble Quote
fredthomas Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 someone please convince me this car it worth the money i seem to be thowing away on it, or shall i just cut my losses and scrap the thing Quote
seatkid Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Start by checking the vacuum pipe connected to the turbo wastegate/vane actuator and the vacuum pipe to the EGR valve. Check the MAF sensor is connected. Check the pipe after the MAF is connected properly including the crankcase ventilation pipe that T's into it, checking for splits/damage. Check the boost pipework - turbo to intercooler - intercooler to inlet maniford Check all vacuum piping  Check sensors connected Etc etc Surely it was your garages responsibilty to do all this and fix the car?

fredthomas Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Posted November 10, 2011 well nturbo is now working, thanks seatkid, vacume pipe not connected properly, next job sump off and do oil strainer, and windscreen wiper linkage seizing Quote
fredthomas Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) running well now, still have the strange noise and the windscreen wipers are not siezing, the back of the motor has rusted off so there is no baring on it, ah well new motor, and drive shafts and wheel barings and bushes, does this ever end?
