Vauxhall Vectra turbo problem

My vauxhall vectra diesel 2.0-litre has a problem. Sometimes the turbo kicks in and sometimes it does not?

Would suggest that you check all connections to your turbo i.e, air pipes to and from the inlet, also for any loose clamps etc.
If all of those are ok, it may be that the turbo vanes are getting clogged up, if so you could try usuing a good quality turbo cleaner. You can get this from Jim@innotecworld.com or Tel 01722 411744.

Far better than previous Vectra. Now with decent handling and an excellent ride. Plenty of safety kit. Roomy in the front. Big boot. Good looks.
