What went wrong....?

Silly thought, but this happened to me when I was only 200 yards from the garage after picking it up following a service & steam clean.

Turned round limped back into the garage, the chaps came running across the forecourt with very worried looks on their faces, after lifting the bonnet the culprit was found, they had knocked the turbo pipe off with the lance, 30 second fix.

Have a look, it might just have worked loose.

Hi Chris

I spoke to the garage today, they are to busy at the moment,
It's booked in for next week and they are going to plug it up
Free of Charge... :D

I will post the outcome on here after it has been looked at..

Paul:
Richard,

Thanks for the info, I have had a good look under the bonnet
today after Andys comments about earths etc...

All wiring looks as new and well connected
with nothing obvious standing out..

I will have a look at the pipe work around the Turbo tomorrow... :wink:

Erm....Paul...if yours is a TDi, the ECU won;t hold anything about the engine. It's just the body computer they'll be able to talk to. And that will say things like :

Ive got airbags! I've got windows, they are up/down, etc etc. There is *no* engine data stored anywhere for the 300 Tdi. The V8 petrol however.....has a separate ECU for the engine.

Thank's Neil,

Yes it's a TDI carn't afford a proper engine.. :lol:

The garage say's they will hook it up and have a look
but as you say it doesn't look like they will find the problem
that way.... They want it all day and say they will be giving
it a good going over.....

On a good note it is running fine today... :D
