Hi guys,
I’ve read numerous posts on here covering this subject but I’ll give you the low down and hopefully someone will hopefully point me it the right direction
3 weeks ago out the blue I lost excelleration while driving, lost power and revs but no lights on the dash. Pressing the accelerator but no revs but the car idled ok. Turned of the ignition and back on and all was good. Hasn’t done it again since.
But, 2 weeks ago my van started blowing out white smoke, like a smoke machine and it also suffered significant loss of power. Quickly checking I had lost all coolant.
I since took the van to Pumabuild in Aldridge for them to check for the reason.
They had the van put it on the diagnostic machine and it showed a map sensor fault and also found 2 hoses split. They replaced the 2 hoses and map sensor but it didn’t clear the fault code. So they refitted the old map sensor again.
Changing the hoses has stopped the smoke and stopped the coolant leakage
The van now performs like a van without a turbo. I know the van wasn’t very fast before the fault occurred but you could tell when the turbo kicked in on acceleration before and now nothing very slow on acceleration.
The garage said it’s either the turbo or ecu fault
I’ve already shelled out £300 for diagnostics and 2 pipes and was give the van back.
The 2 options they have given is a new turbo for £450 or ECU anywhere upto £2k. The van ain’t even worth that.
Could really do with a list of where to start looking myself.
Injectors
EGr valve
Turbo
Like I said they changed the map sensor but the van was the same and the fault code didn’t clear so they refitted the old one.
Any help would be appreciated
