Scott has taken car to work today and soon as went onto boost it started juddering violently, so changed upto 3rd and proceeded and soon as it went onto boost it started juddering again, it felt like it was going to run out of petrol but has plenty of fuel in......

parked up at work and checked for obvious, hoses coming loose etc, cant see a problem,

Started it again to go back out and now check engine light as come on and stayed on...

Seems to run fine when not on boost....

as anyone got any ideas what this might be if so can you give scott a ring....

Has he got a boost gauge ? is it over-boosting ?

He will have to check all the plumbing for cracks and splits, usually means pulling them off and flexing them whilst looking for damage. Or they can go hard and not seal properly.

HTH

I had the same thing not long after I got my car, it was the turbo up pipe that had split and as the engine moved under acceleration on boost it opened the split and I lost all boost, then it closes and it jumped for forward again.

Magnex turbo up pipe sorted it on mine. Has Scott had his changed?

 

no not changed it rich. . Do you mean the exhaust up pipe. . Cheers for advice dunx n rich. was yous check engine light on rich. .

 

i recon actuator AET could prolly check it for you? i had this problem on mine exactily what your explaining, really racked my head and my bank balance trying to find out what it was.

 

any news chucks?

 

Does sound like a boost leak to me

 

its off to go get looked at on saturday so hopefully fingers crossed it will be something of nothing.....

 

fingers crossed for wagoness!!

 

bit of luck it wont be fixed for thorsby then i might have more chance in the show and shine comp....... sorry only joking hope you get it fixed quick and will see you in the show ring

 

sounds like a split turbo hose to me mate...like dunk's as said have u got a boost gauge in your car ,,think u have,, check the gauge when the problem starts.see what the gauge is doing...don't think this is owt major mate just a leak...

 

Cheers for all comments and advice chums....

Hoping it's now't really major,

Although as got me thonkin what i can do to it whilst it's in....


Thinkin Samco hose kit....

Would it benifit from one,...

 

thing is mate any up grade is a step forward,,,,,,,,,,,,,,500bhp haha..

 

I agree, the spring in the actuator (spel) might have gone, or gone soft, it won't be opening and closing fully meaning that boost will be up and down, in most cases, IF, it si that, its a simple exchange.

There again, could be a few things.

 

Vf 35 and chips...... Wha ha ha !

DunxC

 

Dunx, I swear your one mad b'stard from the posts you do....pmsl

 

sounds like the MAF sensor to me, i took my k&n panel filter out to clean it and when i went for a drive later the same happened to me, i was juddering when coming on boost then the engine warning light came on, i just played around with the sensor and it was fine, its worth a try before you take it to a garage.

 

Me I'm just SICK TO DEATH of wasters wanting MY VF35 and tossing me about.... 8 weeks of p*ss*ng around ! ARGH !

I'd rather it went to a club member for peanuts than a tw*t in Dorset....

Rant over !

How did it go with the car today Wagoneers ?

P.S. Jimmy, clocked your car as it left (?), but I don't know you.... I was the old git scoffing pasties !

 

Mmmmmmm....

How much is peanuts....

Would mine benifit from the 35...

 

i'l give you a bag of peanuts for it i'l even stretch to family size!!!

we got a deal

scott if he sells you it very cheap its worth it as you'l need bigger injectors etc etc

 

Been advised to think about the twin scroll one off the spec C....

Anyone know which one it is...

Think it's a VF 36

Will need bigger injectors though and uprated top mount....


Summat to start savin for...

 

This one Dunx?

 

Yeah that's the one !

Well spotted.... Doh !

Sadly I wouldn't recognise you but I'm the oldest "none mid-life crisis born again biker" around, in a Bug-eye Scoob-T....

Scott a twin scroll will need an exhaust to suit as they are different, adds more cost.... and mine would do for about 330 bhp if you stuck a FMIC on as well..... (snigger !)

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO !


How did you get on with sorting the car ?

DunxC

 

How much we talking Dunx......


Love you mate, best car in WYIOC....
