Turbo/boost problem....still

[Wayne]

Any tips On buyin a vagcom lead?

Cheers

I have and can recommend one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAG-Car-Diagnostic-Scanner-Fault-Code-reader-/160717750851?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item256b864243

Is that just a engine code reader then? Or can you do other stuff?

Cheers

Also does ABS, Airbags/srs and gearboxes, mine has been a great purchase, I have helped lots of people out with it.

Well I have a engine code reader bit it only comes up with the sai and when I clear it the light goes out, I just though vagcom would be good as you can do other things with it can't you?

Vagcom will do more than the ebay reader but it does enough, however vagcom is handy for logging problems etc.

so im gonna order a ebay lead and driver disc, i dont go home untill the 27th so will have to wait until then to do the logs,

so what are we thinking it could be?
the sai leaking?
a resistor missing somewhere?
something electrically limiting it? - what could cause this?

cheers for any help.

Sooo ... Home for the weekend and my vagcom eBay cable and disc had arrived so I set about scanning the car and found these codes ....
17705 - p1297 pressure drop between turbo and throttle valve

16795 - p0411 which I found is the secondary air injection
17704 - p1296 which I beleive is coolant mapping?

I did some research and found my n249 bypass needed a resistor so I have cleared the codes and put it in but any idea how to solve the other issues?

I also read the sai plug needs a resistor so will get one and do that tomorrow.
And idea how I could solve the coolant mapping problem or diagnose it as I can do measuring blocks now 

Also got a big delivery from the postman including this intercooler so may do thr tommorrow.

Have you cleared them and ran the car before scanning?
