  1. Update guys ive just thrown some coils in it but in the mean time ive stupidly broken the small 90 degree rubber bend that joins the small hose/pipe from the rocker cover that goes into the crossover pipe (if you understand what I mean I dont know what its called?) is the car driveable/startable to check if ive fixed the problems with rough idle and so on? I would assume its not safe so I wont start her. dam :S And ive just found another problem the hose clamp that joins the piping to the front of the turbo is complelty loose. Good as Sorry just to make it a bit coearer the thin diameter plasticy pipe that runs on top on the throttle body with the plastic nut joining it to the crossover pipe is the one I broke.
  2. Im not taking it to heart so all good ! Thanks mate. getting the coils done on wednesday so ill let you guys know how it goes cheers
  3. Naaw all the donating members sticking up for one another cute! You calm down too baby and have a peice of cheese. not sure why you all need to be smarty pants's on here I thought the forums where here to help people with car troubles.
  4. calm down baby it was just a simple question why "end thread" what if its not that... although I will change them with "genuine coils" and let others know the results.
  5. Right so now, I fixed the ignition barrel- still had the same issues with the speedo, randomly it stopped happening for a while but now its back accompanied by slightly rough idle and upon full throttle the engine splutters and seems like its almost cutting out. so maby it is coils? Is it expensive to change them over? cheers
  6. Also forgot to add that I have the problem with the ignition barrel spring, the key doesnt spring back when you start the car and so times does odd things like radio wont work ect... not sure if this could have anything to do with it. anyways ill throw my brothers battery in tonight and see of that fixes it. thanks guys
  7. Hi guys, recently started having a problem with my 2006 bf turbo zf. car is fine under normal driving, as soon as you give her a bit of gas the abs light and hand brake light both flash on then a couple of seconds later the speedo stops working and "D" starts flashing on dash (but does not go into limp home mode still drives normal just no speedo). Turn the car off and on and the speedo works again. Also just replaced alternator started happening around the same time. any ideas?? Abs sensors? Bad battery? Mechanic run a scan on the car but he couldnt pin point the problem... really annoying issue cant drive it hard at all without this happening any ideas much appreciated.
  8. Ok well theres 2 of them so once I get the boost leak fixed if is still has crap fuel econ would you guys recomend changing both or just the one b4 the cat first of all? thanks for all the advice too btw
  9. K31th do you think this problem could also cause terrible fuel economey? ive just noticed im using over 16lt per 100km driving like a complete grandma... or you think might just be o2 sensor or somthing like that?? Cars got 165,000
  10. Ok mate so tonight I took off the heat sheilds and found a few of the bolts from the turbo manifold into the block where loose so I toghtened them, And 2 are completly missing the bottom bolts/studs-nuts? (hardest to get) out of the 4 that connect the turbo to the manifold. also had a feel of the part that spins inside the turbo (not mechanicalt minded lol) and it has a small ammount of movement is this bad? =S
  11. Ok mate thanks ill look over all those things and let you know how I go!
  12. all I know is its a john bowe exhaust not sure if its turbo back or cat back ill have to check. There are no other mods what so ever. Could it be the manifold bolts causing a ticking noise or you think its not that? the guy I bought it off was a mature age guy and a mechanic and can tell its been well looked after so I assume he tightened the bolts when needed..
  13. I am unsure the exhaust was on it already and havnt checked to be honest. Im almost certain the issue wasnt there when I first bought it. what sort of issues can the cat cause? You think it may need a tune or somthing?
  14. Almost sounds like pinging? But im sure its not, running bp 98 and not sure why else it would be detonating...
