Big lumps of metals and spanners. Including servicing and fluids.

Worrying about turbo - 1.6TD

Post by Troopy »

Posted a while back that my turbo was making a right row and decided to replace with a recon one.

That is now done, but my issue now is that the van seems sluggish and I can't hear the turbo kick in at all :?

Mechanic did say that there was a small hole in the turbo to manifold pipe and to replace it, but would that make a huge amount of difference?

Having never owned a 1.6TD van before I have no idea how quickly it is meant to pick up speed and whether I SHOULD be able to hear the turbo kick in.

Anyone offer advice, or at least put my mind at rest as I am meant to be going to a festival in Devon in it on Thursday so running out of time if anything else needs to be done.

Thanks in advance
