Hi All,
Following on from my woes outlined in this the following thread I have some remaining issues
http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/audi-s4-a4-a4-cab-b7-chassis/219598-2-0t-engine-seized.html
When picking up the car the mechanic told me the knock sensor and temperature sensor needed replacing but because "I insisted on having the car back on Friday" (after them having it 6 weeks) they didn't have time to fix them and so I should take it back to have them done.
As a result the fan is always on due to the temp sensor and the engine management light is constantly on due to the knock sensor.
Also, the reverse lights and parking sensors are not working, so this is another thing that will be going on my snag list.
The main problem I have though is that there is a power issue. The turbo does not seem to kick in properly, it feels like it did before I had my Diverter Valve changed (back when every thing seemed so perfect for those few weeks before the catastrophic failure of my engine!)
I had a new cylinder head, but am wondering, would there have been any reason to mess, change the diverter valve at any point during the engine rebuild? Just wondering whether a used one from another engine could have found its way on somehow?
(obviously I will be calling the garage to ask this tomorrow anyway)
Another thing is, the exhaust seems to be blowing in the mid section, I guess it has not been fully sealed properly. Could this be the reason for the lack in turbo kick or could it be linked the the knock sensor issue?
I was hoping that after spending £2.7k things would all be perfect now
Thanks in advance
Chris
