Went to look at a car today with a view to buy and do up, then sell on. The ETS light was on, and it was hunting on idle. I took it for a run, and to start with it picked up, and boosted fine, after a while it lost power, and made a whooshing sound as if it had popped a boost hose, by the time I got back, it still had no power/ wasn't boosting, but there was no noise, so popped the bonnet and all hoses were where they should have been. Is this all likely to be down to the ETM, or do you think there are other issues.

Nope - won't be ETM, sounds more like a split/loose hose somewhere or even split i/c.
ETM gives erratic idle, random stalls, flatspots in the rev range but won't cause a woosh. or permanent loss of power. Didn't you plug your code reader into it?

D'oh!
Sounds like a boost leak somewhere mate. or possibly a coil pack breaking down.

A coilpacdk wouldn't cause a noise though would it. It's just strange it stopped, but power didn't pick up.

ME7 - when it detects a boost leak, it'll cut power by limiting boost/fuel/ throttle response (depending on mood)
Coil pack was just something I thought I'd throw in :)
unless the woosh was the noise generated by the car suddenly shutting the throttle due to a coil pack going. (can't remember what mine did when it threw a coil, ran like a 3 legged donkey tho)

It wasn't misfiring at all just had no boost. Oh well, if it needs a new intercooler that's no biggie, as I'm going to have a spare one.

Go for another look mate, check the bottom i/c hose and the short collar between the turbo and top pipe.

Won't have time now, a boost leak I can live with, though the drive home might be fun.
Post 659630 by oblark on 2013-11-11 17:07:55
Its either a boost hose split or a sticky waste gate :)

P1200 - Injector control unit fault :D

Both of those are easy fixes looks like it could be worth having then.

Are the Magnetti Marelli and Bosch etms interchangeable, i.e. could I remove the Magnetti Marelli that's on there and fit a Bosch one?
Post 659848 by V70 Graham on 2013-11-11 22:32:03
Nope, the bosch unit is just a motor and gears and potentiometer, the car ECU does the processing. The Magneti Marelli has the microprocessor inside. Two completely different units.

Having the marelli unit converted to contactless pickups seems to be the way forward with these.
You may not be able to polish a turd but you can sprinkle glitter on it ;)

C70 vert as they are cheap this time of year? ;)
Sounds like an easy fix to me & boost related with the whooshes.
