ok, sounds good. I am based in Cardiff, that an issue?

 

Had new front drive shafts and CV joints put on it about 2 months ago. 4 good tires in last 6 months, no error codes etc.

 

Its been such a good car!

 

Waiting to find out about a car I am looking at and will have an idea of time frame.

Are you still interested in my VRs as I have found a new car?

 

Let me know.

 

Cheers

Actually, I am going try see if I can keep it and make it run again 🙂

Back again.

 

I had someone take off my turbo a few weeks ago and I sent it off to checked and rebuilt.  Turbo went to a place called Turbo Rebuilt ltd.

 

Their inspection stated that the turbo had suffered extensive oil contamination and this had worn the bearings. They repaired it and fitted new gaskets. I also got a new turbo oil feed pipe as they recommended.

 

Anyway, new oil and filter too and got car back yesterday.

 

No bloody difference! It still stutters and smokes....

 

Could this still be the turbo? Am at a bit of a loss now...

 

 

Probably not it but I had a lack of power on a Golf deisel, really slow getting up to speedn with the pedal down. Turned out to be  the Mass Air Flow monitor thing.  Just unplugging the MAF cured the problem.   Then sold the car, handled like crap anyway.  Love my Fabia VRS.
