bjornh Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 anyone has any info on the 1.8 turbos. I saw someone post something about a known problem a lack of heath-shielding. I am taking mine (98 mod.) to the garage soon and any info would be useful.. £££ !! it is just not only horrible to drive without the turbo, it is also leaking oil (slightly) from somewhere in the turbo hosing down on to the manifold.

Techie Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 That was me that posted about the heat shield. Common fault. If its no tthat its more than likely its just the waste gate that has failed, these are avaiable seperately but are a bit of a pig to change. Are you sure there is no boost pressure? Could be a MAF fault. Failing that let us have a look at it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornh Posted February 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 when accellerating I can hear a fissle of air comming out, and when off the accellerator there is a light rattling noise which sounds like crickets. The latter lend me to believe that the turbine is broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
