stum450n Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi mate, Gave you a wave and a little beep as you came up to the A40 roundabout this morning (Tues 20th) but I think I was level with you by that point so if you're wondering who was beeping at you - it was me! How are you keeping? Not seen you about for a while. Cheers, Stu Link to comment
bakerzone Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi Stu, I managed to do a quick wave back, was running late, on my way up to Cotswolds to get her serviced.. It's going well, shame the same can't be said for the car, service went ok but alas there is a problem, i'll give a quick rundown of how to best descibe the problem and what the solution could be. Problem I noticed that there was a problem with acceleration, the power appeared to come in waves but if you pushed it it seemed ok, i asked CS to check it out for me while having a service. Fault could be The wastegate controller isnt getting any message from the ECU to do anything, the turbo apears to dump the pressure out somewhere (didnt understand all of it) and drops off without warning then builds back up again, it must be a fast process i guess, the boost pressure went up to nearly 1.2 and drops to 7. something. ECU possible replacement required Oh dear, it seems to drive ok though as long as it isnt kept within a certain limit.. How's it going with you? Hope to be on the next meet if the car hold up Rich Link to comment
