Hi everyone,recently bought a T4 2.5TDI.
The guy i got it from had the engine rebuilt and it had 90miles on it.(140,000)After doing about 400miles i decided that i would give it a wee bit more on the pedal to see what it could do. NOTHING.Icould hardly get 3000revs in 5th and if dropped to 4th is was no better.
I took it to a VW AUDI specialist garage(RMG IRVINE,clever boys) and they put it on the machine;it gave an error code for a brake switch and air mass meter.
The guy i bought it from had a reciept from VW for a new mass meter as it had no power.Informed the dude/wizard from the garage.As the engine had been rebuilt Merlin thought he would have a look at the timing.
The timing checked out OK.
Merlin then had a look at the turbo and it turns out there was no pressure at the turbo,Merlin told me it should be set at about 0.7- 1.0 bar(i think).
The
vans i now a hill muncher.:biglaugh:

Just thought i'd let you know my wee story !
