just join this site and love it already, helped greaty with non working fan blower
now have a new problem i have just arrived in the south of france having covered 750 miles of faultless driving, apart from temp gauge going up to approx 90 degrees (normally holds 80) but outside temp was around 34!
driving it today with air con on waS MAKING a noticably oud humm till air conn turned off, and in hindsite was slightly sluggish, having stopped for couple of hours went to return back to friends house and car was very sluggish, found kids had played with w/s button next to auto gear stick so put back to s setting and throttle seemed lot more responsive up to approx 20 mph, then reluctant to move, if foot pushed down at 50 ish it would change down 1 gear and increase revs but not excelerate. if i pressed foot through floor it would change down 2 gears increase revs nut not increase speed.
have read some threads and checked pipe from under rocker cover to turbo inlet house (approx 10 mil dia pipe with rubber join under rocker cover). 90 degree bend at from of engine toward back of ebgine head was broken but pipe still pushes into bend. took out for quick run and was better response under excelleration and change down but not right. also still running between 80 and 90 degrees though normally above 80
also tried disconnecting elec plug into air filter housing on outlet to turbo this brought symptoms back but not so bad then alot better when re connected but still doesnt have sense of urgency when under hard excelleration it had before.
need your wisdom, also if using terms like MAF please right what it means in laymen terms, not for me you understand but for my 7 year old daughter honest, i do have reasonable engine knowledge but no professional
stuck in foreign country and dont want to break down here or during return journey,
must add, seems to idle ok, not smoking badly
many thanks
