My recently purchased 'R seems to be a little fooked!
It felt like it was holding back abit before boost but i put it down to overfueling and had an appointment at powerstation to get it all sorted.
But unfortunatly due to all the wheels being on the piss, it didn't happen!
I drove to stoke at 70-75mph and when i got there i started to hear a wierd noise, at that point i was a little gutted cos it sounded like the exaust blowing. I picked my mate up and went to pull away and there was no power! The turbo was spinning up and everything sounded right but i didnt go anywhere! The handbrake wasn't on before you ask.... :roll:
I went to Turbosystems and the boss promptly told me that he didn't want to help me because its not a rs / cosworth / scooby / skyline / evo. Fine i thought and went to start her up and she was fine-ish!
During the couple of hours i was there, the noise got louder and it now sounds like a tractor.
Took it to the garage the next day and the bloke could feel a leak in the exhaust somewhere but couldn't pinpoint it. He suggested it was probably a gasket on the turbo. Went to see a mate today and was driving up his road in 2nd and the car started to slow down, i pulled over and the engine cut out
started her back up and she was idling at about 500rpm and was coughing out black smoke. Upon opening the bonnet there's a little bit of smoke emerging from the dump valve area of the engine. Upon restarting the engine, it was fine - no probs.
Booked into powerstation on wednesday, anyone got and thoughts and more importantly £££'s.
