P1297 - Intermittent
« on: 10 July 2017, 09:28 »

Description from v.c.d.s - Pressure drop between turbo and throttle valve (check D.V)

Assuming that means the recirc valve could be playing up?

Most people have had this code at some point - not necessarily the DV but generally associated with the vacuum system and hoses degrading over time etc. Worthwhile checking the whole system over - cheap and easy to sort any split hoses with some oil line or silicone hose off eBay (depending on application) whilst you're at it.

Thats cool, I took same approach with the Wrx, cheaper, quicker and easier replacing the piping than looking for a pin prick hole.

Do you know what Id pipe I need?
