Hi all! FIRST POSTING.
I bought this car a few moths ago and found the turbo operation a bit strange! We have a Galaxy 1.9 Tdi also and the turbo is working all the time with no surge @ 2300 rpm or a certain temp. I have been to several Fiat main dealers and ALL tell me a different story about what criteria this 'surge' needs to operate! Is it correct that the engine needs to reach normal working temp and 2300 rpm before this 'surge' kicks in? I always thought that the turbo starts working as soon as the engine starts. The car is quite sluggish until this temp and rpm are reached.
Also when on idol and especailly from cold, the engine seems or sounds like it is 'pumping' something. Is this normal?
Can anyone explain to me what this 'surge' is, if the turbo works from start up? This is not turbo 'lag', I've experienced that before.
This may be how this particular diesel engine works but I have never come across this configuration before.
Hope someone can help as I despair at the Fiat dealers!! :bang:
Cheers in advance..Eddie.
