[QUOTE="sharky71, post: 519327, member: 13974"] Thanks for the replies fellas. It's the 140bhp model and yes there was a reading of over boost when the garage plugged it in. So what can I do myself? Is there any kind of spray like carb cleaner I can use or is it gonna cost me to remedy it? You say it might be a new turbo?It is not noisy like the early ones you could hear whistle whether that is any help in describing the fault/noise? How much are they new or is it new car time? :? :roll: Regards. [u][b] I'd say it's likely the VNT mechanism in the turbo has sooted up and the vanes are stuck in the high boost position causing it to overboost instead of regulating correctly.[/b][/u] The above is what the technician explained the problem to be,is it fixable at low cost or is it fubar'd?
