Featured Replies

So looking for some major help. Just had new turbo fitted be lucky If it’s done 2k started noticing some boost issues took it back to garage they said there was no problems when they stripped it down and but it back together miraculously it seemed like it was fixed but after 10 mile started having same issue. I sacked them off and went for a smoke test to show a leak on and intake pipe. 3 days later with a mix up with the pipes iv got my little bumblebee back (mk1 Fabia vrs in yellow and black) today and she was on top form boosting when supposed to in every gear on my way home though I changed into 4th and went to get up to speed to engage 5th 60-70mph and the engine management light came on and it’s went into limp mode iv turned off and back on to try and reset and it’s still the same. Car works mint until 60-70 then drives like a nine turbo diesel and limp mode kicks in ffs please someone help if my wife knew how much iv put into my bee I probably wouldn’t be here to write this. Please I know iv went on but I need help,many thanks,

If it's going into limp mode it's overboosting, get it set up properly.

I'm talking about the stop screw setting to prevent overboost, it's tricky to get right on a new turbo.

Ah right I’ll mention that to the garage. It’s strange because iv got in it today and the light has went off. Iv not had it over 70 yet though

Been to see the guy he has said the same as you over boosting he’s taking a look tomorrow and having a tweak. Hopefully this is an easy fix I’m doing the nc500 in 9days 😔
