Wastegate control solenoid value malfunction (fail safe)
anybody had this and how do you fix it.
Thanks

It's on a 2001 uk wrx

 

Could be the boost solenoid, are you getting fueling issues?

 

It's overboosting and going to fuel cut

 

Could be a faulty solenoid then or even just a pipe/hose leak. Either way I'd arrange to get it looked at and if you can get over to Darlington (saw you're in Redcar so not too far) then get Darren at DLM to have a look for you (01325 480678).

 

Faulty boost solenoid ?
Thanks for replying

 

It controls the boost levels so if yours is overboosting it could be that. Just a guess though definately worth getting it checked out.

 

Yes defo mate cheers for the info it's a great help this is my first turbo

 

Check all your vac lines for any splits, the solenoid should be in the drivers side bay
