hi guys,

i got a standard r-reg turbo and recently the turbo has started to kick in at 3,500rpm rather then the usual 2500 and it seems alot weaker- i dont hav a boost gauge so i cant confirm this.

any ideas to what the problem can b??

thanx in advance

May be the wastegate solenoid sticking (common problem if oil filled to maximum on servicing). Cleaning it is easy with brake cleaner, do a search for full instructions.

Had a quick look under the bonnet today, and just thought i'd giv the pipe work a kwik check and found 2 split pipes- sorted that out and cars bak to normal- think i shuld still clean the solenoid?

cheers

If that's fixed it probably not worth the bother
