Year of Manufacture *: 1996
Engine Size and Code *: 1900
( Optional ) Scanner Used: snap on solus
( Optional) Fault Codes: none
Car would just start and then cut out straight away. Checked for codes but none present.
Fitted a new fuel filter as this to me felt like fuel starvation but still the same. Checked fuse for fuel pump. Checked for nbv and earth on top of fuel pump which was ok.
Stupid of me, I konw, i fitted a new fuel pump without checking fuel pressure etc, but still the same.
Removed air pipe to inlet manifold to check inlet manifold flap was not stuck closed and turned engine over on starter, engine started and ran ok.
Checked all air pipes and intercooler etc.
Removed output air pipe fron turbo and there is was. The output impeller was split in half which is somthing i have never seen before.
A new turbo cured the fault.
This car has done just over 100k and has a full VW service record
