Re: How to test a/c compressor
The clutch will not engage if there is no pressure in the system to save the compressor from possible damage if allowed to run for long time. The refrigerant flowing around in the system helps cool the compressor down to extend its life as well as transport some of the oil around. However if you wer...

Re: Rev 3 turbo bad fuel comsumption

Make sure the engine earth lead is bolted to the engine and chassis if not even with the signal present on the small 3 pin alternator plug the battery will not charge as no complete circuit due to rubber engine mount isolating engine from chassis. Case of alternator is bolted to engine this is the 0...

The other 2 Blue and white read naff all, not open but high v...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Lost of oil in turbo air intake and air pipe Turbo Rev 3
Hi all Thanks for the reply Done a little investigating and found it to be normal. It takes a while for it to build up from clean so I am not too concerned now. Was thinking Turbo had worn oil seals but a weeks worth of driving and no oil at all in the air intake pipe or compressor housing. The brea...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Alternator nightmare
Check the 3 thin wires in the multi plug are ok What can happen is the copper wire breaks inside the insulation due to vibration, heat, water / corrosion right where they enter the multi plug. The alternators regulator needs all 3 to work, 1 is Field / switched 12v (from ignition) check with volt me...
