5ktq Problems
The car isn't mine but I thought I'd ask some questions for this guy.
Bought a nice Black 5ktq for too much and now is in over his head with
problems. Called me last night because rear diff was stuck locked so I
had to go crawl under his car and un-lock it for him manually. Anyhow,
here goes.
1) Rear Right Caliper seems to be freezing when E-Brake is used it wont
release. Does it need a rebuild or will a bleed help? I'm not used to
REar Caliper problems
2) No BOOST. I mean NO Boost. Floored in 2nd you see 1.0 Bar and dont
feel a surge of the TUrbo coming on. It reads 1.1 BAR sometimes in 3rd.
You can feel the turbo come on a little but not much. I checked the IC to
TB hose and it is fine. WOT switch and Idle switch appear to work right
to. Unhooked connector and at idle position the top and middle terminal
had continuity. At middle throttle no Continuity. At WOT there was
Continuity at middle and bottom terminal. WHat else can cause this.
Intake Air Temp sensor??? WG Frequency Valve. Connector for Idle
Stabilizer Valve is loose if that helps any
3)Heater will only blow HOt air. All buttons appear to work right.
Defrost / econ / auto etc all do their thing. BUT, no cool air will come
out when you turn temp down. ANy ideas?
Thanks, I want to help this poor guy get his car back into shape but am
not nearly as familiar with teh 5ktq as with the 4kq since all I drive is
4kq's.
