Strange G60 Problem?

[Ronan 0]

Hmm...another day, another problem, this car gets me down sometimes.

 

A couple of times, it seems like there is no boost coming from the charger. The engine revs up, but you can feel there's no boost, and if I dip the trottle a little more, then it boosts. Sometimes the boost will just cut in though, I don't always have to dip the throttle.

 

Does this mean the charger is foofed? It doesn't feel any slower on boost, and it has only happened a couple of times...

It sounds like the problem i was having with my G60 and proved very hard to diagnose because it was very intermittant in severity. Seemed to behave better when you were very gentle on the throttle.

 

Check the woodruf key in your bottom (crank) pulley isnt worn causing the timing to be constantly altered (slightly) - it is a common problem on G60s.

 

Its actually the reason why i need to rebuild my engine because it damaged the crank when it eventually sheared off at the bolt. Definately worth checking :wink:

 

Close inspection is required because all the timing marks still line up

have you got a boost gauge to confirm if there is boost there or not?

 

maybe a slipy belt or a hose starting to leak

It seems like a slippy belt or even a leak from boosted hoses or Intercooler...
