Unhappy

I've been getting Overboost for a while, so i got all the pipes at the boost solenoid cleaned out, car went great for 10-15mins, then it started again.

The oil was replaced this morning, and not overfilled, so i know it now cant be that..can it ???

What now ?? I'm getting annoyed now !!

Johnny

MY car was doing this for a WEE while.
Turned out to be an air leak(SPLIT). In the solenoid/turbo hose.

Check it out.

Mine too, a small hole in the pipe played havoc for a week or so, fixed now! mind you, yours could be lots of other things, but even a pinprick can affect it!

Johnny I didn't have to because I had modded.

Should be able to get tubing from most MOTOR FACTORS.

Cheers Steve.
