Hi
Sure sounds like the intercooler is blocked.
Its an easy job to take off and clean, use either petrol, parafin, white spirits or Mr muscle drain unblocker !

Like the wizard says, it's probably got a EGR on it still and the intercooler is bunged up with oil and carbon. Make sure it's totally flushed and dry after using solvent else the fumes may have an interesting effect when you fire it up :lol:

I would remove all your Intercooler pipes it will be more than likely when you look down the inside of one of them you will find there will be loose fitting material inside that under pressure comes down & blocks off the air way!!!!!
Good luck
chris_harvey:
thanks for the replies guys . i am going to strip the intercooler off on Friday and clean it out and ill probs check all the pipes to . is it a hard job to do ? anythink i should watch out for ?
would the intercooler being blocked and that pipe exploding cause the car to burn oil ? thers a blue smoke cloud when i start it up ? sum1 told me the valve stem seals might be gone and over nite lettings oil into the cylinders ?
i am starting to think ive bought a bad engined car :doh:
