is this Overfilled problems?

When I bought my RA -1996 from Uk, it was recently served.

Next day, after I putted it in the garage, (after 700 miles trip), the car started to strugglering on acceleration. Not any hesitating, it revs up but after 4000 the turbo didnt kick in the back, and a great loss of power. I thought this was the ECU that took time to learn, becouse the battery was dead every morning I tested the car (3-4 times before it should stay in the garage until spring), and after 35 minutes driving it sometimes pulled away good.

When I looked at the oil stick it was much over the max level, this I havent seen before.

Today, when I put the car on trailer, and drove it to my fathers workshop for oil/plug change, and several things for the MOT, I noticed that it was a oil leak on the middle of the intercooler? Can the overfilled oil maybe sealed the FMIC and the boost soloid, can this result in loss of power that I have?

The strange is, that even if the car doesnt pull at all like it should, the boostgauge say that it boost 12.5 psi like it should

Thank you very much for helping me and sry for the bad english :=)

A little update. My father drove the car today from home to the car repair shop. He also noticed the lack of power. And he also noticed the dump valve wasnt that load that it used to be. Is this also a result of the other problems?

try cleaning you boost solanoid out mate.. and check all your pipes have no wee splits in them. check the ecu for faults (2 black plugg under the stearing colum) iff you dont know how to read them go onto scoobynet.com(loads off info hear) and use the search function for ecu reset it will tell you how to read the faults and how to reset your ecu ...

have you got boost gauge? iff its only boosting to .4/.5 i could be running in safe mode hope this is off some help :wink:

oh iff your oil has been overfilld it could be the cause off ya probs loads off info on this to on sn

Thanks m8 :)
But the boostgauge says 12,5 psi, but the car isnt moving forward like it should..Can the boost solonoid be filled with oil, without the gauge show this..?

Its like the turbo doesnt kick in like it should, like you driving with a monstertruck hanging in your rear spoiler
