could anyone tell me can MY99 models suffer with boost problems (one minute boost ok then next min boost is down by 2 or 3 psi) if the oil is filled to the max mark on the dipstick ?
thanks, Mike.

this may be what was up with mine lately,the solenoid is between airbox and top of suspension strut (about 2 inches long and thickness of smarties tube...),to clean out solenoid do this.
1 connect both green and black wires under dash together(this will 'cycle' the solenoid enabling it to be cleaned through...)
2 undu bracket holding solenoid to inner wing and remove pipes to/from solenoid
3 turn on ignition,when you hear the solenoid clicking this is the green light to spray the brake cleaner[that you bought earlier
] into/through solenoid inlet/outlet holes
4 clean pipes through with brake cleaner too,blow them out though afterwards...
5 re-assemble, disconnect wires and hey presto solenoid cleaned
Mine was cutting out for a split second coming onto boost now and again but hasn't done it since i did this.
