My Movano blew the seals on the high pressure pump at 80,000 miles.
I guess these kind of things we just have to grin and bear so long as they don't happen too often.
Turbo failure is often poor lubrication or blocked oil hole, but I guess being a company van, the oil was changed regularly.

My Movano blew the seals on the high pressure pump at 80,000 miles. I guess these kind of things we just have to grin and bear so long as they don't happen too often. Turbo failure is often poor lubrication or blocked oil hole, but I guess being a company van, the oil was changed regularly. The turbo has not failed completely as it does often clear later could be due to the sensors in it. The oil is not changed often on these new engines there is no set service interval it all gets decided by the engine management system which came on for its first service at 19k which was early as 24k is usual. About a month ago after not being used for a week the thing went into limp mode this cleared when warmed up and the light went out the following day this gradually got worse with it going limp more often and taking longer to rectify itself. Seems odd that turbo faults come up when cold would have expected that when it was up to temperature. Time will tell see how it goes when I get it back this afternoon. never did like this van rather have my old VW caddy back latest-turbo has been changed but not revving properly dps to be changed whatever a dps is, so still in a much nicer Peugeot.

Trying to figure out what it means:- Wide Access Vehicle? Wide Arse Vehicle? Women’s Activity Vehicle? Any road up, I imagine it as a cross between the Pope mobile and a landing craft with Annie sitting in the back waving to the crowds and Bill up front saying “Where to Milady” in his best Parker voice.

Wheelchair accessible vehicle, though I do like the thought of a woman's activity vehicle and me as lady Penelope cos I talk propa like what she do.

Morning campers, or should I say afternoon! Left Glebe farm today, after a great few days, and am now up in Leyland, Preston tonight.
Tomorrow is Stockport and then buying a wood stove, wood box, pipe and heat shields from N8rbos (Tony Norbury) before heading back down.
Happy 2016 to all!
