Boost problem :( was 23psi now 15!
« on: 08 October 2009, 20:56 »
Hi lads my golf has a leak i think  :undecided:

Full load would go to 23 PSI then find 18psi at the red line

Now i cant get over 15,   it just holds it all the way to the red line

What you think the problem is?

At a guess a split hose,breather pipes would be prime suspect.
