Some of you may have remembered me losing all boost on the club AGM drive a few months back. It turned out to be the boost control solenoid need cleaning as apparently they get clogged up over time.
So i followed the instructions and cleaned it and reset the ecu and all was good until last week when i lost boost again.
I have had a new clutch fitted recently so have been driving on low boost until last week when i stuck it back to high boost [1.3] and then the problem of losing boost happened.
This issue has only occurred twice and both times i have been on high boost [1.3]
This time i said i would just try resetting the ecu as that is alot easier than cleaning the solenoid and it actually worked strangely enough, so all good now and i have been driving in only high boost the last couple of days to see if it happens again but no issues thankfully.
I dont know if it is a map issue but i have been mapped on ecutek racerom.
All good now but just wondering if anybody can explain what the possible cause could have been as I am kind of discounting the boost control solenoid now as if that was the issue surely an ecu reset wouldnt have resolved the issue
