TB's buggered motor
« on: 12 July 2023, 16:07:01 »
P006A.  DTC snapshot data shows very low boost pressure, suspect a loss of boost pressure.

Sent the DTC snapshot data and some photos to that DTM geezer, and he concurs that one of the intake manifolds has split being the most likely cause.  Cheap, crap, plastic shite that plagues this engine.  Still, to be expected when it was a JV between the yanks and the French ;D

That's very reasonable. I would do both sides just to be sure  :)

It probably takes a week just to get at the manifold, but TB likes a challenge!  :)

If I do DIY, have to decide if the genuine part is better quality than pattern.

Genuine part looks to be about £300, including the gasket and bolts.

Britpart pattern looks to be around £130ish.

Won't be buying a Ching Chong special from egay, as it really looks a shit to change, and only want to do it once.
