Acceleration Issues After Turbo Replacement

[harpster]

hi

car alhambra 1.9tdi 2003

car died with tons of white smoke last week Compressor wheel had damage and too much play in the shaft, turbo seals failed!!!

i have since, replaced with a new turbo and oil feed pipe, air and oil filter oil change, flushed all pipework and intercooler cleaned out inlet manifold, replaced new egr

and fitted a new Cat. Mass meter is only 12mths old.

the issue i am still having is that the car will not accelerate in 1st and 2nd gear unless i rev it up over 1500rpm, and then it goes, but when the turbo kicks in 1800rpm ish it shoots.

It does not accelerate in higher gears too, unless i get the revs up by tapping on and off the pedal until the turbo kicks in.

It is not smoking,but i get occasional puff of black smoke.

the other thing i have noticed is it will not rev over 2000rpm when parked in neutral, as above unless i keep tapping on gas pedal

please help

also what makes it worse no fault codes are showing up...

Hello harpster,

Have you checked to make sure that thew vacuum pipes are all fitted correctly? It may not be the answer, but must be worth checking as there is so much that you have changed in the last week!!!

HI

just started car this morning after disconnecting the battery all night, i was told it would reset ECU

no differerence,

the car smoked like hell for 5 minutes and then i noticed coolent level seemed to be down by about 50ml, could this be my issue.

 

car was also making a dull pop/knock noise while idling..

 

brake and clutch seem fine

UPDATE: Resolved matter (I think)

i have been under the car today and messed with the factory set actulator, and now my symptoms have ceased, i adjusted the rod clockwise a few turns and the car is boosting at low revs and not coughing or spluttering no more, i did fit the new n75 that did not help. i have done a new log today showing the car running, i believe the rod may require more tweaking (i will see how it goes)
