dreaded boost leak (FIXED) :)

[pickles]

driving today and everything was fine till my rear passenger side tyre mounted the kerb, i now have a boost leak, gauge isnt getting above 1.5 psi, im assuming a hose has came loose somewr, car drives fine but every now n again it will judder etc, any1 any pointers in wr to start here

checked all hoses visually and all seems fine, noticed car seems ruff on idle now as well with rev fluctuations, if the car has went into limp home mode, do i need to reset the ecu to get back out or is it automatic

i belive that you need a code reader to erase any codes to get it out of limp mode?

ide turn the car on and try listne out for any boost leaks too (might be hard over engine noise)

i see, that wouldnt explain the bad idling tho eh, have tried to listen and feel for any leaks, cant find any

bad idling will be a leak somewhere, pulling in un-metered air

could just be a tiny leak.

perfect time to upgrade hoses

I may be wrong but I think limp mode goes off when you turn the car off. Obviously if whatever caused it happens again once you start her up again then it will go back into limp mode until switched off again. I was switching the car off and starting it up again whilst moving when I had the problem with mine.

Did you hit the kerb hard.? Does you car sound like its running on 3 cylinders. You got agu with a cai, you know what i think it is.  ign amp.

didnt think it was too hard tbh,on start up its ruff then idles for a while and then goes ruff again, , its actually cutting out now, have checked the ignition amplifier, seems ok, but my experience with them is limited lol
