    s2 being a bitch again on my birthday.

    I took the s2 on a 500mile journey to Lyme Regis ,work not pleasure.
    It ran fine until the last 30 miles. Then the boost started to reduce to 1bar with a noise when you lift of, that seems to sound like the waste gate chattering.
    I have had issues with the maf connector recently, but this is different.
    When the maf connector plays up it wont let you floor it , just bucks, and bangs through the exhaust. Fuel cut I imagine.
    After it has done this it smokes for a few seconds on startup.
    With the current problem it will let you floor it but does nothing with the boost.
    Its like it is trying to reject the boost, a lot of noise and no go.
    Today is my birthday, and I will have to get my hands dirty if I want to treat myself to a blast in the Bitch.
    Always lets me down on my birthday, its like it knows its in for a thrashing
    Bloody car.
    Any advise would be much appreciated.

      My cheap ebay cable is playing up Alex. So I will try to blink the codes, which for some reason is not easy on this car.

        That noise comes from a faulty DV ,probably the membrane is split .

          That sound is normal on the S1 ralley beasts, you can hear it on YouTube vids from the group B cars. On our cars, the SUV is shot, when they sound like this.

          And; most important: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! And the best wished fot the next year

              Fixed. It was the vacuum pipe on my bailey dump valve that had come of.
              The end had split.
              Thanks for your help guys . I can now enjoy my birthday: deviltail.
              Full boost is back ,but the sad thing is the S1 sound has gone.

                    Hi Lou,

                    Good to hear it was a straight forward fix.

                    Also many happy returns.
