Changed coolant earlier and when I ran car up to "what I have to guess" right temp as my temp gauge not working, fans don't kick in. With little bit of throttle to make sure it's hot enough fans just ent kicking in. Do they take longer then other engines to kick in or am I being stupid here. Plugged green plugs in and fans do come on so that's not the problem ? Could it be thermostat gone ? Bit worried bout using the car as I don't want a full meltdown here -
yeah mines up on regtransfers for prices around a 1000 i had an offer of 800 wish i took it there and then now :/

Update.... Problem fixed ! Took the vac line off at the t-piece and poked the restrictor pill out and it was blocked up with black !Removed!. Cleaned out the lines with brake cleaner just to be sure. Took it for a test drive and just like that . The smile was finally put back on my face again !

Ok so I spray the solenoid with cleaner and connect green plugs to click it through. Left it a while. Put pipes back on fire car up and it's misfiring to f***k. After a min or two it clears so I'm assuming that the cleaner had to clear. Took it for a test run and seems smoother under acceleration as it was getting bad. Still overboosting wasn't quite as bad initially. I feel I've found the culprit. How easy and would it be worth it to take the solenoid apart and clean it proply ?
-
Thanks for that savage will try the cleaner first and see if that makes a difference. The solenoid is bolted to the drivers side strut tower isn't it ?
-
No leaks. Someone has mentioned it could be that I need to clean out the boost solenoid ? How would I go about doing this ?
-
Changed boost pipes and still over boosting ! Annoying
-
Ram air it's a foam filter so not oiled

Tried to get at knock sensor last week and removed intercooler and turbo pipes but couldn't get access to knock sensor so I stuck it all back on then few days later it's over boosting maybe I didn't tighten pipes up enough :/ ordered some new silicone pipes so when they come Friday I'll check I tighten it all up good when I swap them over
-
I got maf code but had that ever since I had the car cleared it and it just came back but wasn't over boosting. Also knock sensor code and I have a knock sensor just waiting to get it on the car
-
Yeah came with a cone changed it cause it was a no make tatty thing but I might go back to standard air box and decent panel filter just need to find one as cr didn't come with it
-
Please don't tell me bad maf lol already replaced it once
