you may also need to check if there's a sensor to monitor the oil pressure to the turbo, which can be faulty that reduces the oil flow to the turbo. Also Check the Air Flow sensor as well. Make sure the Air path is also clear.If there's a back pressure (Air) on the turbo, I think there's a sensor or a valve connected to the computer (directly / indirectly) that regulates the oil pressure to the turbo which is not working properly. Could be a the CPU malfunction after all. .. Good luck Nizzmo Z

I agree with Davy. I'm an importer of Turbo charges. I believe this kind of failure happens when there is no enough Oil in the shaft. But find out the performance of the car. Also when did the first turbo failure occurred? Is it after the oil pump replaced or before? By observing, oil pressure cannot be measured accurately. This can be measured via the car computer or inserting a pressure meter externally at the turbo inlet. Most importantly the pressure should be monitored at the turbo inlet. By checking the car computer you can get the oil pressure at pump discharge. Turbo's are not rocket science. Can be a nightmare if not proper diagnosis. Hope this helps. Nissmo Z

Goto Quick Auto in kalaniya. (Sinharamulla). They are pretty good. I've been going there for long time! Best in colombo so far... as far as I know

I'm looking at a Mini 1000cc. I was told that 1000cc get heated with A/C in traffic and that is very common specially for 1000cc engine Mini's. Can anybody confirm??/

Its the american model. What's the price I should offer?

Guys, I'm looking at a Honda Accord 2001 full option car to buy. I think I can get it for 2.1 Million. Is it a good price? I just moved to SL and dont know much about the market for the honda Accord. Your feedback is appriciated. Thanks !

This is before taxes obviously... right.

Anybody knows the CIF or the FOB price of a diesel Prado 3000cc. before taxes....??

what the hell happend?

I'm after a skyline too. Got all the tax, agent price worked out. But the seller in Jap is not willing to do LC. Let me know if you decide the skyine and let me know if your seller okay with LC.

NO I DON'T. THATS MY PERSONAL OPENION. I DIDN'T LIKE IT THAT'S WHY I'M MOVING BACK TO SL. THAT'S IT... NO MORE.

You are 100% correct. Most of the srilankans (currently living in SL) thinks that it is a Hell. But if they know the Sh!!!t that we have to go thru SL is better,at least for professionals. again there are pros and cons. SL is another country. We shouldnot compare a developed country with a 3rd world country!!! That's where people got wrong...thinking SL is a Hell.

I thought the 20% VAT was already included in the 150% duty....

I think it is the first registration. Not the manufacture.

Anybody knows a place to repair / buy parts for Lexus IS 250 (2007 -2010) ? I dont think this comes as Toyota Alteeza. The older model IS200 came as Alteeza. So I dont know if Toyota can / will take care of IS -250. Any comments please?

Guys the difference between the FOB and CIF is less than Rs. 100K. Custom duty is calculated as CIF = (Brandnew FOB x Depreciation value) + Freight and insure. Total = Duty % x CIF hope this helps. let me know I'm wrong. I hope not as this is how I calculated duty for my car.

So I can estimate the taxes...B'cos I'm sure the price I will be paying to the seller would be lot less than the CIF value (minus depriciation) which customs use to calculate the taxes...
