Hi all,

I have a series II 16 V turbo, and have following problems.

After seing that the topspeed only were 200, after a engine replacement. I deceided to install a manometer to verify the boost pressure(attached to the manifold). However the maximum is at 0.8 bar, when the overboost is activated. Above ~5000 rpm it falls to 0.5 bar. Can I just adjust the wastegate to get the proper pressure(0.8/1.0), or is a ECU probing nescesary?

Another problem, just arrived, is that when I start to brake(and can hear the switch), the brake lights go on...FINE... However when I brake harder, the lights go out and the check panel goes on..
Is it the ABS system that is failing(had once a full brake, without ABS working causing my tyres to go flatspot). Or is it a sensor failure, or air in the tubes???

Another question:

What is the level inside the ABS box for? depleting the tubes?
I can hear a motor starting

Best regards

Hello Bjark.

I'm sorry that i can not help you, because i have the same problem with my series 2 thema T 16V.
I also replaced the engine, but the problem is still there, that will say, in each gear, you fill a dip around 5000 rpm. In the 5th gear i drive 200 km p/h, and its hard to get more speed out of it. I think it's an electronic problem. I. have put this question on a dutch Integrale forum. When i have some news, i will tell you. When you solve the problem, plaese let me know.

Hi all,

Fixed the brake light, it was the switch that had some oil between the contacts...

Check the microswitches on the throttle linkage are working and the overboost solenoids are firing when they are closed.

The first stage switch is nearly always in a poor state and the earth connections are always poor too. You will lose a lot of power if the overboost function does not work.
