Well, the old girl got some pampering today, after a short run this morning;
Arriving at the unit for service
Did an oil/ filter change, plus air filter.
Then set about sorting the turbo- all week there's been little boost, and minimal power.. can you spot the issue?
The vacuum pipe from the Turbo to the Boost pin on the fuel pump was split and frayed- so there was no fuel enrichment on boost. Some spare pipe I had lying about was fitted, and made a considerable difference to the drivability of the car
The car also had 2x 195/50/15 tyres fitted to the front- running 42 psi
Finally, the interior was cleaned and de-pongified! so now a pleasant place to be
The drive home was spirited, but frugal- the correctly working vacuum meant overtaking was easier and done with less throttle pedal. This is how she stands just now:
