Since driving with the AVC-R and the Apexi Solenoid I had the typical Solenoid Sound as soon as the boost come on ( 0,00kg/m +)
The Sound was a really fast trrrrrrr....
All of a sudden the sound changed, it is still the same of course (Magnet during work) however it is extremly slower now.
At first I thought that might be due to the changes in my settings however today I changed the settings again to my old one but nothing has changed in the Sound, still a very very slow t r r r...
I also feel that the boost doesn't reach the values I had before, what could that be????
Is there a way to clean it and check some important points? Maybe something went in it?!? Maybe because of the low temperatures??

Would be cool if somebody could help. Regards Chris

take all the pipes of the solenoid,then plug the green plugs together under the drivers side dash and turn the ignition on but dont start car this makes the solenoid move , spray with brake cleaner to clean,
but dont quote me on this cos i hav'nt done it yet but i will,

The Apexi AVCR is a standalone boost controller with its own boost solenoid so therefore is not controlled by the ECU - so doing the above will have no effect on the Apexi solenoid. The above procedure is for initiating the oem solenoid The brake cleaner may useful to clean the Apexi solenoid

I cleaned it yesterday with a brake cleaner, but sound hasn't changed. Anymore suggestions???

What is the sound like from your Apexi Solenoid???? Fast or slow??
