i have a 1.8 turbo 1999 and it drives like a normal car with no turbo all of a sudden for some reason. I have had a look for pipes off or split pipes but can't see any. The car drives with no other probs, its smoothand pulls like a none turbo car . Im getting stressed now because im being left at the lights by everything. ??? ???
-
should still have a warranty take it back to vw and they should replace it
-
Can't have a lot left on the warranty if you got one at all still. Does the turbo spin at all? you should be able to hear it when you rev the engine.
-
the warranty is out. it does not spin up when you put your foot down but you can hear it release the pressure when you change gear.
-
Surely if there is a pressure build up , the turbo must be spinning?
-
yes vr6 i would agree but theres no punch from the turbo at all and i cant hear it spin up like it used to the car has been remaped by revo and used to fly.. its very strange ???
-
Sounds like a leak somewhere..
-
the turbo has suddenly sterted working again. i have put it down to a ify dv valve wich i will replace with a forge joby. thanks 4 your help guys.. ;D ;D
