ahoward87 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 hi all, i was wondering if someone can help me. i have a glanza v and i was driving it when it was not at optimum temperature and the turbo just went, there was no noise and i only noticed it had gone when i noitice a lack of power when put foot down and no turbo lights coming up on the dashboard. i have checked if there is any noise coming from the turbo on tickover and all seems fine. there is no engine management light coming and the and sensors are in place as far as i can see the seals havent gone. should i just replace turbo or will it be something that can be fixed. it is not chucking smoke out of the back but i am not going to drive it untill it gets fixed.please someone help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 sure its not a glaza s lol, are all the boost pipes fitted correctly?? sounds as though you could have a sever leak. any noise on idle when you rev it a bit?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Is it miss firing at all? i had that problem with mine..turned out to be some moisture in the spark plugs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahoward87 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 i may aswell put a S sticker on it!!! lol. i cant feel any leaks when it reved a bit and there aint much of a noise either . all pipes seem in place. i think i need to put it on a diagnostics , mayb that will direct the problem a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahoward87 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 it happend last night when it is more moist in the air, i have a dump valve and it wont dump any air. i started it this morning and it dumped once and wont dump again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 deffo lost boost mate, to me that amount of loss would indicate props on the compressor side fucked, which you would know about it, or a severe boost leak somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 check your actuator pipes, intercooler pipes and check your BOV aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicco Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 standard actuator? check the actuator arm connecting to the wastegate hasn't come off, you would know if it had because your exhaust will sound very deep and the car will run like shit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahoward87 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 it is a standard actuator and the arm is connected. i have looked at all the pipes and i cant seem to find any leak and to stop my boost it must be a hell of a leak. is it worth me putting a diagnostics on it. or will it be a waste of money. is there a way of manually checking why i have no boost, i cant really afford to take it to get diagnosed.

Marck glanza V Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 i dont think diag machines can pick up boost leaks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahoward87 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 i have checked all the pipes and all seems fine, im going to take my fan off and release the cat to see inside the turbo in case the blades have any play in the bearings or the blades r fukked, if they seem ok i will take the actuator off and replace that. i will let you know how i get on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahoward87 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 all seems ok with the turbo blades, is there any way of finding out if it is the actuator that is broken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
