Re: Turbo issues?

I went and had a poke about this morning and found a pipe which was perished on top of what I believe is the dump valve, I cut the dodgy bit off the end and replaced the pipe and after a quick test it seems all is well again! Happy days she pulls like a train again! One thing I did notice when I too...

Turbo issues?

Hi all, I was hoping someone may be able to help. Recently my car a 130 tdi has felt a bit sluggish in the lower Rev range, it feels as if the turbo is not spinning up very quickly and in first and second gears it just doesn't pick up like it used to. It seems better at higher speeds but it is still...

Two stroke oil?

Hi all, has anyone on here added two stroke oil to their diesel? I've read quite a bit about it on the net and am thinking of giving it a try. Claimed benefits are less smoke and a smoother running engine, the only thing is when I asked the garage that serviced my car they questioned it? The guy sai...

Retro fit cruise control.

Hi all, I am new to the forum, and I'm liking what I'm seeing! Some of your cars are what I dream of mine looking like! I've owned my estate for just under two years and she's never let me down, I absolutely cannot fault it, great car. It came with a few goodies ie half leather half alcantara,(heate...
