Fahrenheit Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 last night enjoying a spirited drive, whilst accelerating i missed a gear change /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif and so revved quite hard- from that moment on the car sounded as if it misfiring and boost gauge will move from vacuum but will not go past zero. Sounds a bit like a scoob on acceleration What has happened it drives alright and i can hear the turbo's spinning but total loss of power from turbo's anybody help.

Gamer Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Check all the intercooler hoses and pipework. My guess is you just blew one open... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 if it sounds like a scooby sounds like you sorta popped a hose off. this gives a low down rubbling noise. check all your intercooler pipework Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I doubt you'll have to buy anything. Just refit the hose that has come off and do the clip up a bit tighter than before. Check the IC hose that is down by the side of the radiator on the battery side. I've had that one come off a few times in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 will it be a special order for a new one or should i replace the lot as im there Probably just a hose popped off that needs connecting back up again, I'm guessing the big hose going in to your intercooler. edit: what Jake said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
