Help, total loss of boost from LCR !

[Andi]

Drove 12miles into town and on way back i have lost all boost.

No Warning lights displayed

Recently changed the N75 valve and all has been fine up untill now.

Checked for loose hoeses but all is normal.

Any ideas before i have to book it into Seat Dealer ?

 

[Andi]

Anyone please ? Feals like im driving a 1.1

You can hear the tubo spool up but no darthvader boost noises like befor.

Split pipe maye..??

That wont be initially noticeable, looking under the bonnet...

maybe disconnect battery for 5mins see if its ok . if its a sensor it will drive ok until it relogs the fault. if its a split hose the problem will stay no matter what.
is it in limp mode?

 

[Andi]

I will try discon batt right now.

How do i know if the car is in 'limp mode'. Apart from it fealing very sluggish ?

Thanks guys

had the same problem with my remapped lcr on saturday nite,it overboosted and went into limp mode.turned the engine off for a min and turned it on again and was fine.no warning lights by the way showed!!if this doesnt work disconnect ur MAF plug and run to see if its the sensor giving the jip!!

if it goes into limp it wont boost above 3-5 (i think) . everytime ive had it happen it goes away once i restart the car. if it stayed on and there was a warning light lit id want to know why.

does it idle ok?

All is fine and dandy now thanks mate.

I just reset ecu by disconnecting the battery as mentioned. It idled and drove fine when in limp mode.

Hapy bunnie again.

happened to me mate on the way to a RR day you can hear the turbo spooling but no power anywhere turned out i had jumped into limp mode and it was due to a split hose that tells the wastegate actuator what pressure boost i am running since i have fixed it she pulls like a steam train
