Might Be A Turbo Problem !


Recommended Posts

Went out tonight, Car was driving very well.

On the way home i hit the boost as you do

Then when i stopped at some lights i put the car in N ( car is an auto )

It starts reving up & down on its own :lol: you can also hear the turbo chatter with the windows closed and no feet on the pedals :p .

got a vid clip on my phone which might help

It feels like something might be stuck open as when i put the car back into drive it speeds up on its own .

Any ideas guys !!

sounds like boost leak to me dude

mine used to do that cause the pipe coming from the turbo feeding the boost gauge was loose under my footwell and i kept catching it and breaking the join

so it used to sit there in idle revving up and down

if you have a boost gauge check the pipe feeding it hasnt come apart from somewhere if not check the whole turbo system pipes joins etc

just thought of something else whens the last time you changed your fuel filter? if its been a while they can sometimes clog up with crap and restrict the fuel coming through, this could cause the up and down idling if its not letting a consistant level of fuel through

hope this helps

solved the problem.

It was the small black hose that joins the pcv valve to the inlet manifold , It developed a split.

Replaced it , car idles sweet now.

Checked all the other pipes as you suggested & all look fine.

Gonna do a service on the car soon so i will do the fuel filter then.

Cheers Badass for your advice :lol:
