Turbo under boosting
Wednesday 7 March, 2012
We were asked by one of our customers to investigate a lack of power above 50 miles per hour – to all purposes they were experiencing the turbo under boosting.
We carried out a road test and confirmed the problem.
We then carried out full diagnosis with our fully up to date VAS 5051B.
Russell Automotive Centre is the ONLY Award Winning Specialist in London with same fully up to date diagnosis equipment as a main dealer.
We diagnosed an intermittently faulty turbo charger, we suspected the variable vanes inside the turbo were not moving smoothly and were becoming seized.
We removed the turbo and then disassembled it to confirm the problem.

As we suspected, the variable vanes that were connected to the actuator linkage were not moving smoothly and were causing the lack of power.
A new turbo was fitted and the problem was completely rectified.

Whilst travelling to you you ordered the part, and an hour after my initial call my van was on the lift and a new starter-motor was being fitted. An hour later I was on my way back to work. I cannot thank you enough for your help. Not only did you go out of your way to keep us working, you did it at a very sensible price.
