| Although we all hate them, we must do something to collect the most common problems. Lets start from submitting some... |
| After emailing me, you will see your problem posted on this page, along with a proposed solution from qualified mechanics. |

| Problem #1: I have a problem with the turbo boost. It is only 0,7 bars, and it must me 0,9 bars. How can I get it up? Roy. Reply: If your engine isnt specially tuned, the pressure should remain around 0,6 to 0,7 bar when the overboost is over. In fourth or fifth gear for example the pressure when the pedal is fully pressed, goes instantly to 1,0 bar and then falls to 0,6-7b. Now if your overboost is around 0,7 bars, then you should go and check your overboost valve. It may be defective. Alexander. |
| Problem #2 Since I bought my Delta there has been an error in my Electronic Suspension Control system. It starts at green, feeling nice and soft and then within minutes it gets the red lamp on and auto-switches to orange mode. This does not feel but it can be avoided if driven VERY carefully and not over *any* road bumps. Lancia dealer had a look on it about 1/2 year ago, and said: "Nothing shows on the test machine. So thereby, nothing is really wrong! And you dont want to change your shocks, these cost a 1200 HFL a piece". Useless answer as usual from Lancia. Sometimes I hear a *klonk* sound (1 out of 15) when I drive a bit too fast over thise (irritating) bumps on the neighbourhood (like the absorber goes tottaly to the end), just to give you an idea... Solutions will be appreciated. Jensen Here`s a quick solution: Jensen, how long have you had the car with those shocks? If more than 50-70.000 kms, then its their time to change! If you dont want to pay a lot of money for the electric absorbers, you can always go for the brilliant Bistein sportskit or tell me to search in Greece and tell you the prices in Euros. They might be much cheaper. Have also in mind that the top mount of your shock could be damages, or the rubber base of the shock on the lower or upper part of the strout. Go and have a look at a qualified suspensions mechanic, not Lancia. Another good proposal is to ask someone if your dampers can be repaired, instead of being changed. Alexander. |
