any mechanics in cheshire fancy a turbo fit?
I have a UK supplied MY99 V reg 2.0 turbo 5Dr. Mileage: 118000 miles.
After a 70 miles trip and a week sat standing, the turbo is not wrking on my car. still drives ok but no power after about 3000revs will still rev up to 6k whatever but takes a long time to get there! Car is totally standard and due to mileage do not want to inflict a high power upgraded turbo on the old thing as worried if it will cope. Is it more likely to be wastegate or tubo?
Anyone has upgraded their standard or other turbo's and have a suitable one lying around from a low mileage car or new please let me know including price wanted. Spare new air flow meter?
my car went into the main dealer today to find out why the turbo wasn't functioning. The findings were as follows:
1) Air Flow meter (Revs dropping whatever that means?) faulty. Replace. Part number 22794AA010 £70.70 +labour +VAT. This will apparently melt the pistons if its not replaced. Would not cause turbo symptoms though but may have helped damage turbo due to overheating?
2) Starter motor noisy. Remove and clean or replace.(think i'll give that a miss!!)
3) Possible turbo or wastegate faulty (probable casue of turbo loss). They apparently couldn't say whether it was definitely faulty unless they dismantmed the turbo etc to inspect but the engine was too hot after their drive (even though they had the car all day!). They said the whole unit has to be replaced if found faulty as wastgate is integral part of unit, not available seperately if it was that. They said it wouldn't be the boost solenoid as doesn't tend to fail with no boost. I asked what model of turbo it was, TD04 etc and they didn't know, said they'd never heard of those types of numbers but part number required is: 14411AA261 cost £974.92+labour+VAT. Labour £95/hr.
Any mechanics near northwich, cheshire fancy doing it cheaply?
Any suggestions, comments? help?
Anyone know what turbo model this is?
Cheap parts? spares lying around?
Cheers, Stales

I'm assuming, if i can ever get the heatshield off all i need is a circlip from somewhere? got the top bolt off the heatshield but the two others are awkward as hell and wont budge. Any tips?

Theres more than 3 mate. Only way I ever managed to get to them (big hands!) was to remove the intercooler. After the heat shield is off, you will be able to access the rod, but I don't know where you would get a new clip from. The original MAY still be attached to the rod or turbo housing though I suppose.
Have fun.
By the way, if you are struggling, i'll whip the intercooler etc off for you. I'm in Macclesfield. Only problem is, once its off, if you don't have the clip and we can't re-attach the rod, then we'd have to put it all back without fixing it!

Car sorted. 70 quid in local garage to reconnect actuator rod...worth every penny! It is now twice as fast as its been for the 8 months ive had it. the MAF must have been gone all that time. It's like having a new car...immense. Thanks for all the help guys.
