Car question

I don’t drive mate but when she puts the pedal down there is no acceleration . She has changed the turbo under advice but I’ve said to her if she doesn’t get this sorted it’s back to square one. Mot is up in June so we need to get it right before we sell it .
If its only ever driven short distances then that can clog the engine. It might just need a long drive and a bit if a ragging. Stick some redex dpf cleaner in the tank and rev the shit out of it.

Thank me later.
 
Never heard it called the coil light before, you mean the engine light ? It could be a host of things. Drive it into a main dealer & they will piss about with it for a bit, have a laugh behind your back, say your main sprocket undulator connection module is faulty, make you wait 6 weeks then charge you a absolute fortune for a new one when it really cost a couple of quid & they had one on the shelf in the storeroom.
Sorry Bill couldnt resist :-)

We did something similar on the wifes Teepee but we have no motorways for miles....3rd gear, 60 mph for about 20 miles on a sunday morning and job done.

Haha it's possible they would do that, but I've done what I suggested twice, best one was Hyundai, I just rolled up walked into service told them the problem, guy came out with diagnostic thingy, plugged it in said it's your knock sensor, fitted a new one there and then for $70.
Similar thing with Holden GM.
