Re: Boost flat spot TDi
Well tonight confirmed my suspicions that something is amiss here in my engine. I thought because its mild maybe I have just gotten used to the power now and it feels a bit flat, but more smoke than usual under hard acceleration would suggest its overfuelling, Tonight the car went into limp mode whi...

If you are after quality you wont be using rattle cans. They are for bmx's and garage doors. Quality = spray gun. Could'nt agree more :):ymapplause: No paint out of a can is going to last up to hard wear (exept the 2k mentioned above) In that very statement you ahve just contradicted yourself as th...

Re: Best rattle can spray paints?
What I mean is all tesco concentrate on is lowering prices and in instances like this (paint), unfortunately unless this is a good brand name of paint it's going to be like the price 'cheap' and not of the quality I'm after. Appreciate the suggestion thoughpiercedguy76xxx wrote:it aint made by tesco pal

Boost flat spot TDi
IN acceleration under boost, there is a flat spot (only very mild) boost builds up as normal just doesn't seem quite as progressive as before and power seems to tail off a bit sooner than before, its slight but noticeable

On the plastic at front of the engine covering the cambelt (I think) it should give a three letter engine code.
