LC Turbo Boost Issues

[nuts]

I know that this kind thread is posted almost everyday, sorry!!

It feels like my LC 20VT is having issues with boost. Concidently it coincides with the colder weather. I used to put my foot down in second and there would be alot of pull however over the last few days it feels a little flat. It feels like it is still pulling, but just not as much.

Any standard things to check on before I take to a garage?

Cheers in advance,

What boost is it showing?

Where do you find what boost is running? I don't have vagcom.

On a boost gauge.

Do not have one I'm afraid. Just guessing the boost is down.

Ok I'll guess it might be a wheel bearing
You need to know the boost if you suspect a boost problem.

Heehee.

Sounds like the OP needs to get a proper service done

True. I did say it 'feels' like a boost issue though so don't shoot me down too hard!

As above post in the vag com section, or buy the free-ware version and cable of ebay, will give you some codes.

How do you do a boost log on VAG-COM?
