i can only think there is a split in one of the pipes that is going to the n75 valve, check all these.....
have you changed/checked the pipe that connects to the charge pipe n goes to the n75? think it is hiding in a heat shield.... check all 3 of these anyway!!!

Thanks I will have a look in a min

I just received through the post today the creation motor sport 5 piece silicone turbo boost hose kit, so i am going to fit it all, I think the pipes you are on about are some of those in this kit..maybe, is that right?

THS intercoolers retail at £495...

£200 to fit it is a bit extreme though, I'd do it for half that  :laugh:

Those pipes have made it a lot better (the ones from the charge pipe to the diverter valve, the turbo and the N75 valve). There was a tiny hair line split on the one that went to the N75 valve, and now the car almost feels normal again, well it did earlier when I took my 10 yr old son out and over took a mk4 2 ltr gti golf, and left it way behind me  :laugh: it put a massive grin on mine and my son's face  :grin:

Do this one tomorrow too, and when the bumper is off take the intercooler off and give it a clean out (either with carb cleaner or petrol) as there will be oil in it!!!

Let us know how you get on mate

Thanks for the link  :smiley: I am still unsure about trying it yet, I will weigh it up later with the weather too  :wink: but I will definitely replace the small pipe from the pancake pipe as I can do this buy just taking the wheel off, or if I did take the bumper off, could I do the pancake pipe without taking the wheel off?

I done it  :grin: I feel well pleased that I managed to do it, I cleaned the intercooler with some carb cleaner, a bit messey. It was a bit of a pain getting the intercooler lined up again, but managed it after a bit of pulling and pushing.

The car is most definitely better and the turbo now sounds like a suppercharger LOL. I think I will put the old N75 back on tomorrow, because I put a new J - N75 on the other day, and I think that could of been the cause for the 17963 code that came up.
