Quick question?

Anyone out there with a Turbo2 3.3 that has had or having Cold Start Regulator problems i.e. serious fuel leaking.Just ordered a new one, nearly fell through the floor on the first quote get this £850.plus vat.
When i purchased my car 3years ago had a same problem had it fixed under warrenty,i dont think the unit was replaced,paying for it now!
Be interested to hear if anyone has had the same problem.

Yeah, I had this a while ago. Noticed car was running very rich and slapped it on a dyno and A/F ratio's were off the scale. G-Force sourced a reconditioned unit for £200. I'm sure 9m has probably got one floating around...

Thanks UV

Was your unit leaking fuel or was it not working ?
Mine is leak fuel but as far as i can tell still working.The only thing i have noticed, driving normal or really pushing her she is running really rich.
The advice i have been given is it dosent harm Turbos running a little rich.

What do think?How does yours run?

Mine had basically defaulted to always on max warmup cycle. My A/F ratio was off the scale something like lambda 0.6. A little extra fuel in a turbo is no bad thing as it helps keep temps. down, but it also increases the risk of bore wash. I know for a fact you can get a replacement item for not much money. Try 9m he must have my old unit around somewhere.
