[Mk2] [Turbo] MR2 REV 3 Turbo Starts then dies!

Hi all, So the story goes... My rev 3 turbo was sat for a few days and when I started it had a pretty bad missfire and would die if I touched the accelerator, check for codes and I had 14 & 22. I replaced my coil as it was a mess and the ECU temp coolant sensor, both codes have now gone but my c...

Re: Coolant Leak

Awesome! Thanks guys! I am am hoping it is one of the drain bolts as it is quite a substantial leak! I have read that you can do it without removing the tank and running the new lines alongside the tank, I have it booked in at my mates garage at the weekend so I will keep you all updated! :thumleft:

Coolant Leak

Hi Guys, I have done a search but not found my specific issue, my rev 3 turbo has quite a bad coolant leak that falls under the passenger seat area.

Its a rev1 and there...

Now I know what people are going to say in response to the title but it isn't anything to do with the coolant etc. When I bought the car the heater was stuck in the half way position, and there was a spare in the boot. So tonight Ii stripped down t...
