Chris_k Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hi guys, Not really sure what's happened but today after work, got into car, drove it down the road and realised something was wrong. When I drove to work I didn't notice anything wrong. I'm getting no boost atall. Boost gauge reads 0 when should be boosting. Have checked all pipe work and nothing obvious jumps out. Turbos aren't spooling atall but instead are making a different weird noise, unsure why. No smoke or anything like that while driving but do have bit of blue puff now again but think this is down to stem oil seals. Any help would be great Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kolin Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) i think you cannot get the right answer and i do not have any suggestion if you want to fix that issue just bring the vehicle to garage because i did not face any issue. Edit - crap English and crap advertising Edit again, I forgot crap advice as well. Edited April 27, 2013 by Ian C (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do a search you will find its a common problem for the second turbo not working and there a some simple checks that he can do before going to a garage Edited April 27, 2013 by Ian C (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
