Boost(and we aint talkin chocolate bars)

[sacs2]

Ive still got a problem with boost.Its ok low down but when i give it some it seems to surge and then drop off and surge and drop off and......you know how it goes.Its not the pipes leaking i tried them yesterday.what else can it be.Wish i knew more bout these damn cars and i wouldnt keep askin questions. but i need your cause where i live its snowing theres about 4 inches and i need to go out and play for a while :mischeif: I have done everything that i read in all the threads i could find on the forum but how do ya reset the ecu? is it like a normal efi car where you just disconect the battery for 30 secs or so or is there a safer way to do it. Larry Carr nice to see someone with the same name mate im simon carr pleased to see ya.

Snow! I want! Clear as a bell and sunny down here.

I'm pretty sure it's just a battery disconnect to reset the ecu.

I want snow too! Bright and clear here.

I think you remove the fuse labelled motor to reset the ECU IIRC from a previous thread.

Yep,,,,pull the red topped covered fuses (two fuses under the cover) for a minute or so, remember to put it back in the right way round. I've also read on here to drive the car gently for the fist 5 or so miles, for the ecu to re-learn it's mixture settings

Thanks everyone will give it a go.Would swap the snow for a car that runs ok ha ha No good havin it if ya cant play :mischeif: was hopin to go and get a few shocked lookin faces on drivers of cars going opposit way on the back roads if ya know what i mean

[sacs2]

FOURRINGS. NICE motor by the way.Wish mine was half as clean Where bouts in Co Durham you at not seen it on road

Going back to your car. LOL. Remove the DV and test it, or just replace it. Not expensive to swap out and try. Think they are 14 quid or so from Vagparts.(710N part no.)

Try pullng the motor fuses for a bit, but i doubt that will cure it.

[sacs2]

tryed the fuse thing went out to give it a go on nice quiet local ind est and bent the bottom front arms on a curb mate So boost takes a back seat for a few days till i get new arms and ball joints fitted sittin in the house writing 100 lines."Im not and will never be Hanno Mikkola ha ha Pleased i can laugh bout it.Will replace dv when i get back on road and see what that does.Cheers mate
