Recently, my car went into I believe limp Mode or boost spiking what ever Mike called it at Jabba. This was noticed when I was doing more than the legal limit up a long incline stretch on the A1. The car just felt like it hit a brick wall - the car was under load clearly. It was that bad I had to pull into the inside lane. When I came of the A1 and into a 30mph limit it seem OK. Further, after restating she was fine, so I took it back to Mike at Jabba and wound back the bhp by 7bhp. I thought this was sorted, but like I said I dont drive her everyday. I came back down the A1 on the way back from work up the same long hill, I was doing about 80mph in top before i started to climb then it felt like there was nothing there, as if it need time to spool up. Now doing 80mph would mean the turbo was on boost surely. I've since spoken to Mike again, who said he would take it back and put it on the other rollers to produce load.
Been with Mike today at Jabba, the turbos running away, he's never seen anything like it - not only in remap but standard At a certain point it just shuts down, is guttess either under load or feeding the power in. He said its probably one of the above. I'm going for the
N75 first and we've agreed with the local VW dealer that I'll have to pay a handling charge of £33 if I want to return the valve - quoted £110 for the part ish. Worst case is sticking vanes, bloody turbos but again I hope not as just run out of warranty (only don 45k with FSH) and after the recent hassle with "goodwill" requests with SEAT UK I'm not holding my breath. What do you guys think? Mike's ruled out the MAF.

Slaved in a new solinoid (the one on top of the drivers strut) and still the same. As standard she still runs away with the boost and then drops out, so I'm running back as standard at the mo until the fault is cured. Mike is lost and has checked the wastgate all the vacume pipes down to the vacume pump at the side of the head. Everything moves as it should etc. The expense of the turbo is not an option at the moment if the game is ellimination - if only I had a bottomlesss pit of money. And there's no point in taking it to the stealers as they wont be able reproduce the fault at normal speed limits. If they could I would, and then go for a Goodwill request, seeing as its only done 42k. Any techies had this ![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
