as above cheers guys

 

You bought yourself a service kit then?

 

Ye m8 that other turbo i got needs doin anyway and the oil return wasnt bloked so its defo the oil seals li hope lol

 

As i said before mate the kit isn't guaranteed to fix it for you though.

Depends whats damaged and the extent of it........

 

ye i know try this last thing if not looks like a new turbo

 

i dont know if you can remeber my light issue with the brown leads to the battery but the side lights come on but when flicked to main beam they go off plus no dashboard lights any ideas m8 and the brown leads did go to the live wasnt it i cant remeber what was said and cant find that post now havwent touched the car for a few days so forgot

 

So have you got 2 turbo's?

BROWN wires are ALWAYS earth. Have you removed every fuse in sequence and properly checked they aren't blown?

 

no i sold 1 on ebay yesterday got what i payed back 4 it ye checked all fuses, a m8 says it might be a relay, oh the indicators dont work either but hazards do

 

sorry m8 u say brown are always earth but the car wont start when i connect to negative but does at live just wanted to check thats all i know not avin much luck wiv this am i

 

Should have kept hold of the spare one

Try replacing the relays they are easy to get hold of

 

sorry might be a dumb q but were are tyhe relays and what am i looking for are they the big square fuse in the fuse box

 

The smaller relays are the lighting ones, and the bigger square ones are ignition ones etc.

Try replacing them all, but to be honest a relay shouldnt fry from reversed polarity.

 

oh right cheers, do you know of any guide or a site what explains how to change the oil seals on the turbo or do you know your self m8

 

Don't know any sites as such.

I did my own turbo but i didn't take any pictures of it, i planned to but just couldn't be arsed in the end as time was against me

Wouldn't want to try and explain without pictures

How much did you sell the other turbo for just out of interest?

 

50 quid m8 with manifold and elbow just what i payed 4 it it was shagged tho m8 if id have put it on it would have caused some right damage there was that much play in it EBAY NUMBER 200063962998 did you find it very hard to do the turbo m8 and when rebuilding with the kit does that iliminate play in the shaft

 

Ah ok fair was just curious.

I didn't find it THAt hard, its not the easiest job but i'll give anything a bash im usual successful. Theres some clips inside that are a right fucking cunt to do though, and thats with circlip pliers and i somehow managed to do it without

As i said, the kit won't necessarily eliminate play, depends whats worn........general ruls though if theres play its more than seals that are worn..........

 

the 1 thats on dosnt have that much play in it to be honest so hopefully i will get away with it
i really do cos im even conteplating getting rid and i really dont want to but im havin to drive round in my wheelie bin cleaning van and thats not good
had it a month now and still only drove it for 2 days im really pissed of

 

If you were close by i'd give you a hand to do it but sods law everyone is always a million and one miles away

 

ye in it m8 i appreciate that tho, i think il be sending you a few pms tho m8 as im going along lol

 

im gettin stitched up lol

 

? what u mean

 

Just playin with you mate

About the PM'ing lol

 

lol well i could do with you fixing it 4 me if you want il post the motor to you tommoro special delivery

 

it might b a bit to heavy to fit in the posties sack tho lol

 

Better get the credit card out to post that bad boy over

 

lol, what bhp u gettin from the cabby anyway what engine mods u got

 

Couldn't tell you mate. Its standard! And ive only spent 6 weeks driving it which worked out to be 3,500 miles

Took longer doing all the work to it. Standard boost, K&N, Scorpion system, ported and polished head and it did have a power engineering cam but that went (and was part of the reason i took it back off the road)

Did the rev limiter in 5th though

 

tell u 1 thing my cars got and i aint got a clue what it is theres a silver button been put on the leftnear the steering wheel when pressed you can here a click neaar the intercooler any ideas what it could be i thoughgt it might have bween 4 the fan but its not

 

nice did they ever produce a standard rs turbo cabby then or just what u built yourself

 

That will be 2 stage boost control i expect. Theres a brown and beige round thingy on the gearbox that will be making the clicking.

Nah never made a MK3 turbo, i did it myself! Wish i knew then what i do now..............would never of put the MFI into it

 

stage 2 boost control ? can you explain dont know what it is or what it does m8

 

Allows you to switch the amount of boost from inside the car.....

 

its notan ajuster tho m8 just like a on off button

 

Yea but the amal valve will send waste back into the air box when its turned on, which will give a higher boost pressure.

 

oh right nice anyway m8 im of to bed i imagine i will be speaking to you very soon and thanks 4 your help pal cheers

 

no worries

talk to you soon
