[Mk2] [Turbo] HELP!! Car wont run!

Stopped a few times after various mates and all sopped and started fine, Im about 500 yards from home and come down the ramp and I just lose power. No lights th...

Re: Triple A Pillar Gauge Help.
Daisy chain won't be a problem.
Just use decent cable

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 3 metal head gasket on a rev2 - NOW WITH PHOTOS!
I agree.
It states on many Mr2 forums that the rev 3 hg is stronger than a rev 2.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Its recommended to a rev 3 hg to allow more boost.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I was looking at ways to spot a fitted rev3 gasket as I have no history with my turbo and wanted to know if it was done without removing the head.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Engine not running when hot
Probably not related but I had the same problem with an xr2. Turns out there was a blockage in the vent to fuel tank due to a different fuel cap I used. I found it used to do the same, but when it done it I unscrewed the fuel cap and loads of air came out and then it ran ok. I ended up using a plast...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] small oil leak
I can only see it on the top of the exhaust bend so maybe cam cover. I understand its quite easy to change? I may do this and give the pipework and cam cover a good coat of paint when I fit my stock bov back on when it arrives. What sort of job is the cam cover gasket and also how much and what part...

[Mk2] [Turbo] small oil leak
I've always had a small oil leak since I bought my Rev 2 turbo. It was never much so didn't worry too much about it. I've since done an oil change with a genuine filter but I still lose the same amount. I have been on holiday and left the car for a week and I've come to take it for a run so checked ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] engine problem
Lesson to be learned.

always check the obvious
- no fuel!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Put a cans worth in and its fired straight up and revving fine!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
No fuel low light though so that needs investigating.
Also the indicator wasn't that low so I'm guessing it was adjusted wrong when the white dials was fitted.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

[Mk2] [Turbo] knocking noise from front
Hi. I have a knocking noise on my rev 2 turbo. It happens when going over bumps and when stationary if I bounce the front passenger side. It is lowered but I've had a quick look and can't tell how. I've heard drop links are a common and problem so if this is a case is it an easy job? Thanks in advance

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] too much oil?
Quick update.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Still a bit of a mess on floor
(not much more than before) but it seems the dipstick is now showing just under full.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'm sure it must be leaking on to the alternator belt as I get the squeaky noise when first starting.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] too much oil?
Sorry. I don't think I made it clear. I checked the level carefully while filling and stopped at full on the dipstick. I had used 3.9l of new oil. I just didn't know where this extra oil was from. I also noticed that the oil on the floor was old oil, not new but it definitely came from the car after...

[Mk2] [Turbo] too much oil?
I've carried out a much needed oil change on my rev 2 turbo yesterday. First I drained it from the sump plug which filled the washing up bowl by about 3/4. I then removed the old filter (unscrewed by hand), put a dab of old oil on the new genuine filter and screwed in by hand as hard as I could then...
