Hi there peeps, well i'm back again with another problem. As stated in my previous thread i have replaced the cylinder head, injectors and new turbo unit but not the turbo actuator. The car runs fine but when i go 3000 rpm the car goes into limp mode but after a restart all is fine.
No engine management light comes on. Had it on a launch diagnostic unit and the the stored code states=
Check component stored b5/1 (charge pressure sensor). Charge pressure is too high.
The turbo was changed because when the head was being fitted the mechanic noticed that the turbo spindle had excess play and didn't want to refit this turbo incase it failed and damaged the engine. The replacement turbo is a recon unit.
Had a guy who rebuilds turbos have a look at it today, he refitted the turbo and says the actuator arm has excess play in it and has shortened it a bit which has made a minor difference.
The car was running fine before having the head and turbo changed. The cracked head problem is sorted but this turbo problem has now popped up.
I'm in the doghouse with the mrs as i have spent over 2500 on the car and it is still not running right and i promised her we would be having plenty of day trips out.
Could it be that the turbo actuator needs changing aswell?
