cost me £1050, sold for £220
repair costs £7500
covered 135k
running a 57 plate Lexus 220d at the moment, see how long that lasts ??

Re: ? engine intermittant loss of power
I've sealed the crack in the intercooler and fitted an other air pressure sensor, disconnected the maf sensor for a while , but the same!
noticed when it happens , if I pump the throttle the power slowly comes back

Re: ? engine intermittant loss of power
the intercooler has been getting worse for about 2 yrs ?
there is air bubbling out at the bottom !!
they are about £70 + on e-bay, been trying to find one a bit cheaper!
