Wll we are a good half way through the the year, yes half way. again i would like to thank everyone for the feedback on the Blocked Particulate filter, Its great to know my post is still helping.
Since I cleaned out my filter in later september 2007 i have had no problems warning lights or any other problems relating to the particulate filter ( Touch wood )
Last week my Turbo stopped working out of the blue, i did not think it was anything serious due to the fact it just stopped no smoke or noises.
i was quickley able to find the route cause of this problem by crawling under the front of the car, finding the vacume tube that passed from the turbo waste gate and passed under the engine to a small black electric vacume valve " there are 4 on the front of my car that all look the same ".
I removed it, managed to prise it apart cleaned it put it back together and hay presto the turbo was working again.
I did pop down our local brakers yard and purchased a second hand one due to the fact i had pulled apart a sealed unit and wanted to replace it with one that had not been stripped.
The cost of the new ones are £45 but i paid £10, now i have a spare lol.
