Turbo

Post by Ares »

Mates,just to pop a quickie:

Problem:turbo going on and off.
few days ago it simply died and stay that way for 2 days,i thought i would have to replace it and suddenly it started to work again.
today turbo is off.
Since i drive most of the time like a granny due to high prices of petrol,i dont think there is a problem with overheating or something.

Car:Pug 406 2.0 turbo,108kw petrol version D8,1997.

I know that this type of turbo is good so it could be something else causing turbo to shutdown.

Thanks
