  1. I bought my BAMKII Typhoon about 5 months ago and thought the car was really fast it was the only one I drove and it was too good a deal too pass up.Anyway in the last month or so the car would start to surge as if it missing if I took it past 4000rpm. Took it into my mechanic for a service and this was the outcome. The car had the wrong spark plugs in it which cause arcing onto the coilpacks damaging them and causing misfires and the car dropping the number 5 cylinder at highish revs.One of the rubber crossover seals was being held on with a zip tie causing a leak in the air intake and there was a leak in the turbo piping because a clamp had not been tightened properly. Now usually I would get someone in to inspect the car before I buy but they were an FPV dealer a nationwide automotive group who had conducted a 100 point check and were going to service the car before I picked it up. My question is should the dealer have picked these issues up at some point during the inspection and service or do they not delve that deep and do I have a leg to stand on trying to recover repair costs in your guys opinion. I also found rust in a well documented area(boot seal) shortly after purchasing even thought their report stated the car was rust free. Sorry about post length.
  2. Had the exact same thing happening to me in my Typhoon. Hit 4000 then it would start to miss. Wrong spark plugs were in the car(I haven't had it long) which caused the coilpacks to fail. Had spark plugs and new coil packs put in and she is a new car.
  3. Picked up my car and as you do with a new toy you give it a bit of a flogging. Now the car runs perfect except for when I accelarate heavily up to about 5000 rpm the car begins to surge. It feels like its bunny hopping.When it does this I lose all power until I change gears and the revs are taken back down. Back up to 5000rpm and it happens again. Any ideas on what this problem could be or has any experienced this? It is a 2005 BA MKII F6 Typhoon. 6 speed obviously.
