Couple Of Things.....

[4.1GX]

Hi all, am looking for some more advice please, specially as the last post was so helpful! We have got our T180 back after the engine rebuild but noticing the following:

1) If you brake fairly heavy there sounds like a hevy clunk from underneath the car and it sounds quite hefty. It occurs only really on heavy braking...

2) The turbo seems to be very on/off in its boost, especially in the lower gears. It is really difficult to get a smooth start off as it seems gutless then comes in with alot of force. Having owned a few turbo diesels I know some are quite 'boosty' but this seems really aggressive and wondered if I should run it back in and get them to take another look??

Any advice would be much appreciated as always!!

I think I would get it straight back to them and explain that neither of the issues you are now experiencing were there prior to the re-build.

Like Dave says, have it back. Ther is virtually no turbo lag with a healthy T180 and that clunk sounds a bit worrying. They have had the subframe and exhaust off. It needs a check over.
