Any advice welcome on the following .... Been having a little fault recently;
Van starts totally fine whatever the weather (frozen, rain).:mmmm
But it seems there is little or no turbo action (and hence loss of power) until, weirdly, the glow plug light decides to come on after maybe a few minutes. And stays on the rest of the journey, regardless of duration.
Then the engine is at full power and things drive as normal.
Now, just had the van serviced (fluids and filters) which made no difference to the fault. Also asked for a diagnosis. The garage (Vauxhall) were seemingly a little vague ... and said it might be something at fault called a "boost pressure solenoid". Apparently no fault codes emerged on the computer either.
I could accept that causing the lack of turbo ... but why would it affect the glow plug light?
If the diagnosis does seem plausible to board experts
, does £110 for the part sound right? If not, what should it cost and where from? Is it a DIY possible job?
If the Vauxhall diagnosis seems a crock, anyone got any better ideas? :eh
Many thanks in advance for any help or advice :Cool2:
