Hi,
Is there any way to check the health of my turbo? Could Seat do this during the service?
The reason I ask is because I stumbled upon something a while ago that mentioned the secondary waterpump LCRs have - something I didn't know about before. After reading a bit I realised mine isn't working and I don't know if it has ever worked since I've owned the car (April 2012). I had a look with a mate and the connector seemed a bit dodgy, so I bought a new one from Seat and fitted that, after which the pump worked for a few days and then stopped again. I'm going to take a look at this next - http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=129762
I just worried the turbo may have been damaged in the time the pump hasn't been working. I never go over 3000rpm until the car is warmed up and always drive the last mile or two off turbo and allow to cool for 30 seconds or so. Taking this into account, is the lack of a working secondary pump likely to have caused excess wear/strain/damage?
I was planning on buying a Cobra turbo back, Badger 5 TIP, new DV and stage 1 map from Bill as well, but don't want to spend the money if the turbo is on the way out.
Car has done 72,000.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers,
Dave.
