I know there have been several threads regarding this problem already, I just wondered if a fix has been made available yet or are we expected to live with it?

 

hi Usually it takes the form of a restrictor
in the waste gate control valve piping.
stops the ECU fuel cutting cos of overboost condition. should still be in warrantee.


regards len

 

please tell more - how do you diagnose if this problem is on a vehicle - mine is my99 - what am I looking for ?

If you had the problem you would know.

As most garages say: 'What problem?' or 'They all do tat sir'.

and my MY99 does have the problem that does not exist, if you know what I mean.

 

Len, I think your are getting confused between overboost fuel cut and the hesitation under gentle acceleration that plagues the MY99/00. The hesitation should be felt when the car is cold and you try to make smooth progress under gentle acceleration, going uphill when cold can also show up the problem. I don't know of any fix for this except replacement of the ECU with a Link or such like...........
