Hi,
I have 2 problems which are outlined below and could be related. I have the following car:
Model year 1991
The model is a 9000 S 2.3 Turbo.
Body style 5-door Combi-Coupe
Engine Turbo, B234 (2.3l full-pressure turbo - 200hp)
Transmission 5-speed manual
Built at Trollhattan line A
The 1st problem is Overheating.
If I drive the car quickly the car overheats if I drive sensibly then the temp is fine. I have replaced the thermostat and flushed the system.
The 2nd problem is that the turbo doesnt seem to be working.
When I put my foot down, the boost gauge moves slightly into the yellow then drops back down again. There doesnt seem to be any major increase in acceleration. When I stop the turbo is V.V. hot.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Tim
