Hi Guys...

After reading of this method working for so many people,,Is there anyone around Cork in Ireland that has done this,,or would be willing to do it? I'd much prefer if it was someone that already had done it or had experience of it.

I was supposed to get it done last week,but My own mechanic is just too busy,and My car is running terrible,and it needs to be done.

For the record,I'm not a bit mechanical,or D.I.Y. minded,so doing it Myself is ruled out.

Thanks..

Hi mate, sorry to hear your car aint running well, is it going into limp very often is it?? Wish i could help mate, can do these in my sleep. Hope someone will be along soon for you. How much would it cost for you to eek over to scotland?

Hi Lofty,,

Sadly,,the way the car runs as it is,I'm not sure it would make it to Scotland,,but thanks for the fantastic offer.

It hasn't went into Limp Mode in a while,,as I was so ****ed off with it happening,,I started driving the car like a Granny,,so this only added to the problem in the end,I suppose.

Just as the Turbo is going to kick in at about 2000 rpm,I get an initial small boost,,but then by the time it hits 2500 rpm,,it's like it hits a rev limiter. Just no power there.

Same if I have the 3 older kids in the car,,there just isn't any power there with the extra weight in the car. I would easily be burned off the road by a 15 yr old 998cc Micra.

So you can see why I'm determined to get it sorted.

Hey Lofty how do you clean these turbos?

Iulian search Mr muscle vnt turbo treatment, a guide of sorts. It was started by me youll see it. Another thrifty money saver.

Hi Lofty,

Just wanted to say thanks for the Mr Muscle tip.

Had my 110tdi 11 1/2 years and 152k of trouble free motoring except for the odd time of going into limp mode.

It had been happening a bit more frequently so after reading your post got a can or Mr M, some plastic tube and elbow bend from pet world and cleaned the turbo.

Also took the chance to clean the EGR (a job that I have put off for.....a long time); Mr Muscle and a toothbrush brought it up like new.

Car now running a treat; so here comes 200k....

Cheers
