on my series 2 its not boosting at all. Its onlyjust reaching 0 on my gauge.

anyone got any ideas why at all please?

cossy abuser

usual boost hose split?
foobarbed actuator?
is turbo spinning?
cracked intercooler?
foobarbed boost gauge?

1) boost leak (most probable)
2) actuator come unhooked
3) wastgate faliure
4)shaft snapped

top of head.........

Danny exactly what do youmean top of head?

To put some meat on the bones of this i got my car back after 8 weeks, yes 8 weeks for an oil pump. Car was sorted then the garage called to say i had a cracked ring and all my big end bearibg was shot.

Got car back tonight and driving it back home got no boost at all and the head sounds like its rattling like fook. Also bear in mind the turbo had a recon only 11 weeks ago

hmmmm you say its rattling ???

thats the 1st sign on a cvh iirc that the oil pressure is fooked , and then after that the turbo will be starved

The Sludge

well thats well weird what causes the oil pressure-the oil pump? If so i just had one fitted
