What about you, amigo? Everything is okay? Van is okay?

My van is now being fixed... new turbo, rebuilding a thread in the cyl head, new timing belt, etc... Just to use it a bit more here, since I came from Europe I have drove it just for 2 months and then stopped in front of my house, no insurance, no MOT... I am trying to re-living her!

Hi Victor. Everythings good here with me. Ive been off work for the last while because of a knee injury but Im back on my feet and job hunting now. Ive been using my time off to do a bit of work on the van. Ive been trying to get the interior finished off. Im heading over to France in a couple of months with it and I want it to be finished for then. I was doing a little bit of painting in the interior today. Its looking a lot better. What happened to your turbo?

Post by **Macflai** » 29 Aug 2007, 20:50

Well,

The turbo was broken, but just a bit

One of the "body" bolts was broken so the turbo was working badly, not straight, the exhaust propeller was "touching" the walls of the exhaust section... imagine I can see the difference between the new turbo and the old one, propeller from the old one is smaller and the broken pieces were going to outside through the exhaust pipe (or maybe are inside the silencer)... and that was before I got the van, 2 years ago, and of course before going to Eire and Europe... That is the reason why was a very slow van...
