The standard turbo will do 300 easy and more pumaspeed can get around 335 now from them.

I know having had one at 288bhp on a standard turbo , but if the op's car had been mapped with "a bigger turbo" it should be putting out more than 289bhp.

Bottom end etc is slightly different, lower compression ratio for one, but that's for another thread.

These engines aren't that bad on fuel to be honest, anyone else think this?

I put Ł40 in and got 124 miles and said 43 miles range left.
That's driving most places in a higher gear but quite alot of boosting

My sierra 2.0 8v i get 137-150 miles from Ł50 driving like a twat. 308 miles to a full 65L tank all motorway

OK, how can I explain without seeming to be a clever cunt know all.

Simple fact is, on Ford IDS (the pukka Ford diagnostic tool) when ever there is a U code it states something like "Modules should never be replaced on there being just a U code alone" (or words to that effect)

If it was a wheel speed sensor there would be a specific C (chassis) code eg : Cxxxx relevant to a faulty sensor/wiring/tone wheel etc

It could of course be because of a fault in the PCM from a sensor issue as all the systems are linked via can-bus.

Vauxhall s are the same with their no canbus communication codes, they get set if the controller does not send a signal back in 0.06s even though they are ok.

As it's got a noisy wheel bearing, it may have effect on the ABS too (TSB 56/2011)

"Should a customer express concern that the brake system warning lamp is illuminated in the instrument cluster and DTC C1141 and/or C1142 are stored in the ABS Module, the probable cause is a missing ABS signal due to front bearing movement as a result of insufficient front wheel bearing fit in the wheel knuckle.
The diagnostics in FordEtis IDS already include this as test but have been revised to include reference to this Service Instruction and should be followed where available.
To rectify this concern, a new front wheel hub should be installed. To prevent the bearing to move in the wheel knuckle bore, the wheel hub should be fixed with sealant.
"

Parts - Wheel Hub (including bearing) finis 1 471 854
Sealant (Thread Locking HS) (5 ml; sufficient for two wheel hubs) finis 1 461 313

Can you explain where the sealant goes? I thought these are gen2 type bearings, just wondering if I'm missing something?

On the TSB illustration it shows the sealant being applied on the outside of the bearing case.

Go on eBay and get yourself a battery cover and ecu cover for the one next to the big orange intake pipe.
