855 T5 cuts out

Thought I had alread posted this but cant find it, appologies if its a reapeat. Anyway, the thing cuts out, normally when driving around town, but it did it at 60MPH the other day and 3 times after filling up at Costco(???) - not fun with the kids in the car. Starts right back up after 2 minutes ...

Re: Blower motor

Great, thanks for all the excellent replies. The only reason I wanted to get the fan off was to get the Bosch OEM part from FCPGroton, but it didn't come with a fan; the aftermarket one did but was also considerably more expensive. $75 is good for the resiter pack, all I found so far is $180 which ...

Blower motor

The blower motor on my 94 855 turbo started making a racket, so I have it off and it is as thought it looks like the front bearing is shot. I cant get at the bearing to take a look, as I cant find how to get the fan off - anyone know? Also an aftermarket motor with fan is upwards of $120 but just a ...

Re: 850 Turbo limited Boost/Missing

Ok, Alternator checkes out fine, although I did have a dead battery this morning, so need a new one, but that wont cause this issue. Vacuum lines all look fine to me. Still fishing for ideas :(

Re: 850 Turbo limited Boost/Missing

Ok, Ill check that, but its odd that the missing only occurs occasionally after starting and then picks up from there. For those of you who remember carburetters with chokes, just feels like starting with either too little or too much choke as it picks up after a few minutes - what causes the boost ...

Re: 850 Turbo limited Boost/Missing

Ok thanks, that was the first thing I looked at but I may have missed one. The car was running fine until about a week after returning from the shop though, guess one could have come loose/deteriated. One of the large lines connected to the vacuum tree came apart in my hands, I previously replaced ...

850 Turbo limited Boost/Missing

Had the fuel pump and alternator replaced, and about a week later suddenly started loosing boost - seems ok around the low revs, on the vac gauge ok up to the 50% mark, then although gauge goes up there is no more accelleration. It also does not start well and often missess horribly after starting ...

Re: ABS code 411

Ok, seems to have settled down somehwhat, and is just throwing codes 141 & 142. Could this be something to do with the brake bleeding - the manual says pressure bleed, don't know how much of a difference that will make?
Also, the high level brake light bulb went out at about the same time it ...
