Boost leek?

[Ryann101]

Hey guys, driving to work the other night and my car was only boosting up to 5psi instead of 22psi. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks

Have a look at the bottom of your TIP and see if you can see anything like this sticking out... It could be the culprit

Sorry I just had to hahaha

On a more serious note.. I'm no expert but the car won't boost over 5psi if it's gone into limp mode? I may be wrong though..try and get it scanned see if anything flags up

Hahaha that was a good one mate, that's what I was thinking I'm gonna look tomorrow for any leeks. If not I might have to get it plugged in. What's the easiest way to check for leeks mate?

I'd say just having a really good look and feel around, not sure what pipes are most prone to splitting on the Ibizas but have a search and see what the most likely culprit is, best thing would be to go to a garage and get a smoke test done though!

Okay mate thanks for your help

 

[Rivva]

No worries
