Re: cleaning the iacv on turbo

Right, so i cleaned out the valve with carb cleaner and it's made no difference to my idle issue.

Re: My suspension woes continue.. (skip to end!)

I find the standard turbo suspension to be very good depending on the rubber used! Compliant on bumpy roads and competent in the fast bends etc!

Re: Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust - NA vs Turbo differences

Gazza is the Romford ring road on your commute? i'm sure i see your car go through there sometimes when i'm walking to/from the station. I often use the A1251 around Romford to get to the A118 heading east, I think the A1251 is the ring road? Yeah i'm sure it's you, will keep an ear open :thumleft:

cleaning the iacv on turbo

Any guides/tips for cleaning Idle control valve on mk2 turbo? Hoping it will sort my idle issues. Is it as easy as it looks or will something catch me out?

Re: Rev 2 turbo cold start issue

Oh really? So basically just let it idle a bit until the switch goes. I'm guessing it only happens in the cold because the denser air makes it run more rich than usual?

Re: Rev 2 turbo cold start issue

So what could be the issue? The injector or the sensor? My current Rev 2 turbo has never had this problem.

Seller has said that on really cold days, the car will start no probs but if you touch the throttle quickly within 30 seconds it will try to stal, almost like when there's moisture in the ignition system. However, let it idle for 30 seconds...
