i removed the negative wire, I took the car out for a drive and it all started playing up again, kangarooing between 2k-3k, there is no pipes split, the boost solenoid has been cleaned out, the idle sensor above the throttle position sensor was also cleaned out with carb cleaner

whats the best way to clear them? does removing the battery terminal reset them?

i am using shell v-power

update after using the cars built in obd here are the codes as follows: 22 Knock Sensor 23 Mass air flow sensor 31 Throttle position sensor 45 Map sensor 24 Idle air control sensor (usually companied by running too fast/Slow) 32 O2 Sensor i can only assume the knock sensor is coming up as its detected poor running,

i've had a replacement inlet pipe put on last week, i originally thought it was fuel starvation or along the lines of spark plugs failing between 2k-3krpm until an awful 5 minute drive home without boost started

Hi all, I have a Uk2000 Turbo, i have not long owned this vehicle but thought i had a decent runner until things started going down hill. I had to replace the turbo with another td04 because of a lot of play, I have cleaned the throttle position sensor and the one above it (plunger type) as well as replaced the knock sensor - all was running ok. I took it for a spin and noticed its still hesitating from 2000rpm up to 3000rpm - after that its fine, i returned to mates garage and left the car for a few hours and then drive home, its got worse, the car is running lumpy to the point of cutting out the idle is all over the place and there is a nasty burny smell coming from the exhaust - I am stumped as well as my mate too, if anyone could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated.

thank you for the replies, i was wondering also why would i have oil underneath the tmic and also a bit on the top of the gearbx?

Hi all, I have a uk2000 W reg, i have only had her on the road for 3 days and have notice a few problems if anyone is able to help me with 1) When at 2,500rpm it feels like its holding back but if i keep accelerating it kinda kicks in and off it goes 2) When accelerating I get a continuous hiss coming from drivers side of the engine until i let off the throttle and then it continues again. Thank You
