Earlier i noticed that my Turbo classic is losing quite a bit of power around 3500rpm onwards...also at around 5000rpm it starts to judder

Any ideas what could be causing this?

When was it last serviced? (inc plugs)

What year? if V5 or V6 model (1999-2000) could be the MAF sensor. (usaully FUBAR'd by induction kits)

IMHO

or coil-packs.......

that year should be single coil, then HT leads. Air leak?

Just washed the engine bay ??

as said mixture of all above just had it serviced, engine worked on and HT plug lead on lose/bad connection.

Its a MY00. It has done 52k now and had its major service inc cambelts at 46k

I believe it had all the oil/filters changed just before i bought it which was under 1k miles ago.

It has been running fine the last few weeks. I hadnt really driven it hard until the other night...redlined it for the first time and it seems to be losing power since then

over boost, fuel cut?

Deano_P1

How do i resolve this if it is the fuel cut causing it?

It drives fine up to 3000rpm but after there is a noticeable loss in power

Fuel cut is like hitting a brick wall...

Deano_P1

Its definately not like hitting a brick wall just loss of power and juddering/hesitating at 5000rpm. Could it be a hose or something thats come loose?

dan83590

If its a late Classic and all the above is okay then I'd be checking the MAF next..

Deano_P1

The garage i bought it off said they have put a new MAF on but then thats just taking thier word for it.

I dont have a boost guage at the moment...could it be losing boost?

Deano_P1

After reading other posts a possibility maybe the boost solenoid. Where is this located?

seab

on the driver side strut you will see 2 vacuum pipes going too it, one to the actuator, and one to the turbo i think.

Is the engine subaru built?

Deano_P1

Yes, its standard apart from the PPP

LordOfTheRings

Well you see theres the problem. Buy and engine with this logo on it and everything will be fine

seab

Tired **** what sort of stupid answer is that.

Hi Guys,

Just returned fro holidays and my problem has got worse!
Now losing even more power!

One thing i noticed earlier is that the prodrive intercooler hose (i have PPP fitted) has got a split in it near the jubilee clip. Would this cause a loss in power??

Deano_P1

Anyone?

Also do i really need to replace it with a Prodrive hose or can i just get a standard one?

That certainly wouldn't help

Deano_P1

It it worth me searching for a new Prodrive hose or will the standard one be fine?

Get a samco mate, very strong and resistant. - They sell all hoses seperatly aswel,not just in kits like you see in online tuning shops.

Deano_P1

Got back from hols last weekend and took intercooler off and checked hose.....its all fine..the split doesnt go all the way through the pipe!

Put everything back as it should be and now the car runs fine!....wierd!!
