intermittent boost solved at last!!!!
After months of the car only producing 0.5 bar on and off compared to the 1.1 bar it normally runs. It is now fixed!!
I have a 95 wrx, tdo5, pp chip, hks IK, 3 inch decat and system, tried looking for fault codes, replaced bcs, PES, and MAP sensor and still the problem occured. some days i would get normal boost other days just 0.5. As it happens a new Tesco opened up near my work and i have switched to Tesco momentum 99 and it has never gone back to 0.5 bar! what a result. I hooked up a temp knock link and guess what no knock. Went back to bp, morrisons and knock is detected. I gather the car lowers the boost automatically to save det? back on tesco fuel and jobs a goodun. When I spoke to morrisons they gave me a note saying their fuel was a bio fuel mix and even though it doesnt say on the pump what ron it was, the note claimed a mixed fuel gives......94 RON :Suspiciou don't rate the bp ultimate either, and theres not a shell near me for 30 miles. anyone else have problems like this as well? |
yes bp ultimate is not good stuff.
Esso 97 is not bad, Tescos 99 better and shell 99 v good if you can get it etc. Lucky the knock control works else you would have lost the engine Simon |
Hi did you fill up at the tesco in westhill? I went to Inverurie an they don't do it. Was in Ellon lastnight and they were all out of momentum. Glad the car is running smooth now.

Tesco are a bunch of cnuts. Their customer care is second to everyone.:mad:
Ours has Momentum when it can be bothered. Other times, none, no rewasons given, no apologies. I won't use it now. |
glad to hear its running nice and smooth again, its mad how fuel can cause such a problem.
|
New Tesco Banchory!, Westhill has it as well.
Im ordering a new fuel pump and filter as the note from morrisons spouted some crap about "particulates present in fuel" I still cant believe they mix upto 40% bio!! |
shell v power all the way, it worth the travel

Anyhoo, glad you've sorted it.:D |
Tesco's in ellon have a habit of not refilling up the 99 when the petrol deal is on(5p off a litre when u spend xx amount in sotre) as it loses them money. i would imagine its the same for all the tesco's in the aberdeen/shire area!!!
