Hello everyone. My partner recently bought a Copen (2/3 litre) with a dead turbo. That's been replaced but there is still a lack of power. It's been at our local garage since August while they keep trying to find the cause, but to no avail. Split/leaky pipes have all been checked. Everyone seems at their wits' end, none of the Sheffield auto-electric techs are interested. Does anyone on here have any suggestions where to look next? Yours in despair, David
I guess they did a compression test? How about a blocked exhaust? Possible the cat got blocked with oil from faulty turbo.
yes ,check this first.. i had need lots of miles to blow the engine free after change..and lot of oelchangesmaybe they can messure the boost power..0 to 0.7 until 6500 rpm..
You can check the boost with a fivers worth of OBD2 reader and check for any fault codes at the same time. OBD2 blue tooth reader on ebay or amazon, highly recomended device. Pleanty of free apps, I use Torque Lite.
Thanks for the suggestions. Turbo compression is fine. The mechanic has read every code possible, but can't track down the problem. Fairly sure he's checked the cat but will pop in tomorrow... Anyone have any other useful guesses? My mechanic suspects there might be a faulty sensor he can't identify that might be causing lack of fuel... He's had it two months now, and diligently spends an hour trying to figure it out each day after work - and he's not charging for this. He's as frustrated as we are, but likes a challenge, yet I feel he's going to admit defeat soon.
