Talking Just cleaned my boost solenoid!

Now since I bought the car the power was always there..... although somewhat lumpy and unpredictable.

Did a few searches on here and saw that this can be caused by a clogged up boost solenoid,
and when some people mentioned that over filling the oil can be the primary culprit I thought bingo! When I bought the car the muppet mechanic had over filled by half a litre! MUPPET!

So off to local motor shop bought a can of Brake cleaner a bit of dismantling, connecting plugs, spraying, tinkering and then put everything where it should be.

Now I know these solenoids are supposed to be tappy but mine before was so muffled I had to hold my ear against it to hear it work!
After cleaning the tapping could be heard from the drivers seat!

And what a difference! The car is simply transformed.......

1. Boost comes on sooner.
2. Less laggy
3. the turbo kick is solid, smooth and predictable.

So I'd really like to thank all the guys on scoobynet who help out!

And a real big thanks to Scoobynet themselves!

One well happy bunny!

Keep up the good work.....

Plums.
