Hi all,

 

Does anyone have any recommendations who to send my poorly 2.2 sc too? I bought Sebs old SC from Jon Seal end of last year.  It keeps occasionally losing power and hunting erratically and only resets when I turn the key off and on again when driving! Took for a spin today and was good for 10 minutes then started doing again.  Ive checked the sparkplugs and all looks dry.

 

Thanks John

Or Plans who are a tad closer to Horsham but I've had really good service from both BoT and Plans so would happily recommend either.

does it still have the exhaust gas valve EGR fitted or has it been blanked off?

EGR blanked off. Been told maybe an actuator issue - drives fine/boosts for a minute or 2 then loss of power and have to rest by key!

It's worth checking your laminova seals.  I had an issue with blowing maps and it turned out I was getting coolant on the sensor from the laminovas.  It was a very mild leak so infrequent top ups but inside the manifold was wet with about 1cm of water in the very bottom.

Probably a little late but fwiw recommend Plans. They've been handling mine for the last 10+ yrs. Great service.
