    Misfire issue on turbo 182

    Yeah haven't had a chance to look at it properly yet, stripped the fuse box down to check the relays fuses and the white plug of doom all seemed in order my suspicions are possibly around the interior loom/ where it meets the engine bay as I've been thinking about and I've had some weird other...

    Misfire issue on turbo 182

    It seems to need the heater blower, headlights (sidelights, low beam, and high beam) and front + rear fog lights for the misfire to disappear if you turn one thing off it starts doing it slightly but when they're all off it just misfires as usual.

    Metal Grinding Noise Around Timing Area?

    Yeah, the whole lot is getting done, both every cambelt rollers, tensioner, seals, dephaser and the crankshaft accessories pulley. So it should hopefully solve my issue. Will I need to order a tool for fitting the camshaft seals(timing belt side)?

    Metal Grinding Noise Around Timing Area?

    Well, to be honest, it makes it easier and he's not charging me much more to do it so why not I guess?

    Metal Grinding Noise Around Timing Area?

    So today the mechanic gave me a call turns out worst case scenario there is metal fillings inside where the timing belt is leading to a potential bearing or something similar gone wrong. This means a complete timing belt job unfortunately but at least I know it will be done now, I've decided I'm...
