Hi All,
My other halfs FR ('07 Plate) seemed to lose all boost over the weekend, was fine to drive but just like there was no turbo at all.
Took it to a garage expecting it to be a blown off pipe as I'd had the radiator replaced only 2 weeks ago.
They informed me it was the diverter valve and that they'd have it fixed by the afternoon.
Well I just picked it up and they told be that on boost it was fine but low down it seemed to be low on power (low down felt fine before) and also said that there was a timing fault code on the car but it was ok to drive away.
I got all of 200m away, up to about 3,000rpm (the car was already warm from their test drive) and it just spluttered and instantly cut out (the rev needle just drop like there was no resistance). There was no mechanical noise either. Power low down felt much weaker than this morning when I drove it in.
I put the clutch in and rolled in to a stop next to the kerb and attempted to re-start it (spinning over but sounded like it was never going to start up). So I went back and explained what had happened, they then came over the road and plugged in their diagnostics machine but couldn't find anything?
They've now pushed it back into the garage and given me a courtesy car but what could this be? I feel like it's going to be expensive...
