Ritey Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 So has anyone experienced any kind of turbo trouble with their R????? Lumpy turbo use and now no turbo at all it appears, just wondering what it could be before the warranty is used to fix it .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 MAF? DV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbside Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Vacuum leak? Stuck actuator? Is the actuator rod moving when you get someone to rev it? Get it back to the dealers with a list of EVERYTHING wrong with it while you still have warranty. Why should you go out in the rain to do their job?

quickshift40 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I had a problem with the air box main hose to turbo - after talking to a trusted Seat technician at my local dealer he mentioned that they have had problems with the hose clip being too small and therefore too tight at the turbo end. This results in the clip cutting clean through the hose. Starts as a split at first then parts company totally. This leaves the turbo intake open to the elements and unfiltered air and crap. getting in. I reported to the dealer who is ordering parts for fitting under warranty and reattached the shortened hose with a larger jubilee clip as a temp fix - preferable to sucking up nasties and causing who knows what damage. If out of warranty I think I might fit after market silicon performance hoses though they arent cheap at £104 for the intake hose mentioned above and £123 for the turbo hoses (pair) plus vat.

kerbside Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Turbo intake hose should be straightforward to check. If split I'd be happy for my dealer to replace the turbo under warranty.(Rather than me having to replace it when it runs out!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
