Hello and welcome mate

Ive got a My99 uk and im having prob's with mine at the mo

 

Thanks for the welcome.

If you tell me about the problems might be able to help.

 

It comes on boost at 3500 rpm and then feels like it hits a wall and then of it goes, thought it might be the maf, but my local dealership looked at that and found no probs mate, its alot worse in second or with more people in the car.

Any ideas mate

thanks
James

 

my brother took my old MY99 to our local dealer as it was doing what youve described they plugged it in and said MAF was ok and werent sure what it was. After talking to conrad bradley about it my brother changed the MAF and its goes like a good un. I'd try a new MAF

 

Oh dear, you used the MAF word, cue Pete!

 

Could it be fuel cut (which -apparently- feels like hitting a wall) caused by maybe overboost?

There saying it needs a new boost solonoid, doe's that sound right ?

 

I had the same problem with my99.

went to get it looked at it was the maf.

about a month ago running great now

same problems as yours hitting wall on boost.

sounds like maf its about £100+vat.

 

Its going in for a new boost solonoid on thursday, so i hope this solves it

 

Hi, always a good idea to go to Technical and do a search or post a thread about problems.
There's lots of info and help there.
Boost solenoid problems can be caused by overfilling the engine oil.
I make sure my 99 UK Turbo Wagon's oil level is never above the high mark on the dipstick.
A good place for an overview is www.SIDC.co.uk. and the FAQ section.

 

Yes, AFAIK it could certainly be that. Overfilling with oil can contaiminate it....as far as I know it can be cleaned though. May not have to go to the expense of replacing it.

Ive cleaned the boost solonoid a couple of times, its alright for a couple of days, then it comes back

 

HI MATE HOW YOU GETTING ON WITH THE CAR.

HAVE YOU GOT NEW BOOST SOLONOID FITTED

TODAY. LET US NOW HOPE IT WORKS

 

Hello mate, it was the MAF had it done today, cant believe the difference it's made, it feels like a different car

 

hi mate, glad your scooby is working well.

I had two go on me over the last 3 years
