turbo

Hi all been having major issues with the car regarding a coolant leak which has made it undrivable! Now ive just had the coolant housing replaced but the car is now back in the garage as its still losing coolant fast. My dad is just off the phone to the garage telling me its a hose connecting to...

morning all just got my cupra back from getting a new breather pipe fitted. when the breather pipe was split i could hear the turbo whistle. after getting it replaced i can no longer hear it. question is should i be able to hear or not and should i feel a kick when its engaged. my...

Right, I have been meaning to get this up for a long time now, so i am going to start this thread and will hopefully get up to present day. I bought my standard car in July 2008, i had big plans from the start. So heres how the car was not to long after i picked it up.

ive got a 51 plate 1.8 20v turbo cupra and been havin a few problems with it. first of all it felt like the turbo was holding back this wasnt so much of a problem its now got a misfire when the turbo spools up, fine wen not on boost but bad wen boosting. sometimes it makes the engine...

Obviously i know where the hoses go for the dump valve, n75 and throttle body to ic, but what about the other 2? Pancake pipe Turbo outlet (think this is the 90 degree bend one?) Any help appreciated

As some of you know, I've been running a variation on stage 2+ for a while, and due to the inconveniences that keep you from dipping your hand in your pocket for an exhaust, I'd been without a decent one for nearly a year longer than I should have been. After much consideration, research and...

i was going up the motorway yesterday in 4th gear....put my foot down and could feel the pressure from the turbo on the pedal...but then it disappeared and i was stuggling to get any speed....i resolved this by turning off the engine and immediately turning it back on. whats the deal? anyone...

well I took Greesha out for a spin last night after logging his car, and gave the car a good hammering in every gear, which has now caused a problem upon putting your foot down in low gears, you can really hear the turbo spool and almost a whistle to it (as if its over spooling), with a loss...

Anyone tell me what the turbo looks like on a 1.9 diesel? is it visible from the top? is it that silver circular thing?:redface::redface: :runaway: on a similar note i there a haynes for this car? or one that can be bought in stead of?:fool:

Hi just wondering does leon mk1 tdi 90bhp version have a different turbo to the 110bhp version? thanks.

Hi i have a lcr amk engine and the turbo has died:banghead2. can anyone tell me if i need a ko4 or a ko4s turbo or are they both the same. Cheers Cupranath

I have a mk1 leon 1.9 90 diseasel on an 02 and a 1.9 90 Ibiza diseasel on a W reg. they both have a similar problem. :( the leon (especially when accelerating in 3rd) will go all the way to about 3k revs then the turbo dies. I have to pull over and reboot the engine to get back. it also...

Hi, My Leon started to make slight turbo whine (more like an owl noise) when deccelerating, so I sent it to Midland turbo for repair. They said turbo is fine and it only needed cleanup as the vanes were sticking. After refiting turbo was fine for few weeks, but now the noise is back. It only...

I have a feeling my diverter valve is playing up a bit and since it's the oem standard plastic one on 75,000 i decided to change it (it's either that or my maf - slight hesitancy when accelerating from stand still) Funds are a little tight having just changed all pads and discs and giving him...

hi everyone im having a few issues with my 2001(y) leon. start the car as normal and run up to temperature as you do, however the car boosts up fine but when coming to idle the engine revs fluctuat from between 750rpm and 1200rpm if anyone has experienced this any kind of help would be much...

Will a set of turbo hoses from a 150bhp 1.8t engine fit my LC? Am i right in saying that the 150bhp models use the k03 turbo, whereas mine uses the k03s? Here's the link...

hi peeps, for around 6 months or so ive been getting a very nasty squealing noise coming from the turbo just as its coming on full boost, initially it started doing it every now and again but over the last month or so it is almost constant whenever you floor it, I can only describe the noise...

where is the place to buy one and what sort of price am i looking at i want to get my 2002 cupa r upto 300 mark.

Bit of a newbie to turbo's, always had V6's My LC is 180 std. K03 turbo im guessing? Can i fit a K04 turbo straight on? Like a turbo off a tt 225 or S3? Do i need to change the mapping/maifolds/piping ? Thankss!

Hey i have just had my car back from mapping after having a hybrid turbo and i am not completely sure i am any faster than the standard turbo on stage 1 remap. the rolling road has stated 215 bhp with 360 torque which seems low for a stage 2 hybrid! also when out for a spin last night with my...
