Need some help car playing up

[topher]

yeah sometimes if you leave it 30 seconds or so it sorts itself out

someone down by you is bound to have a smoke/pressure tester, i think most places charge 20 - 30 quid to do it. You can also make your own with a bit of ingenuity and a bicycle pump. If you get stuck we have one.

if there is a boost leak will it show up a fault code?

ive got that intercooler, i found a few imperfections in the welds on mine that would have deffo leaked as i blocked one side off and blew down it in water and it leaded, i gave all my pipes to a mate and he re-welded them all to be sure on rest.

I checked all the welds this afternoon wen I was checking for boost leaks and they all looked fine. Some thing in my head is telling me n75 and when I was at r-tech last Wednesday for all my up grades nick said that the n75 won't last much longer and I should change it so maybe it's naffed but ille get it checked for fault codes first

[gti_shaun]

maybe MAF playing up? deffo need get codes checked and go from there

The other thing is it doesn't do it all the time because I booted it earlyer on the way back from the inlaws and it went like it suposed to and the as soon as I stopes at the lights and set off again in started playing up again, so shorly if it was a boost leak it would play up every time I put my foot down?

2:1 odds its 17705 with an outside chance of 17965 at 5:1

if you have vagcom, and a modified 1.8t, become familiar with those two codes!

[topher]

and yep, even after that description i'd be looking for leaks first.

[ian007miles]

Ok mate ille have another look at all the pipes tomoro to be on the safe side and what are the two fault codes u listed?

[ian007miles]

Just had the car checked over by amd Essex and there was no fault codes and no boost leaks, so time for another trip up to r-tech to see if they can solve my problem
