My car wont get out off soft limp, sunday i changed all the vac pipes on the top of my engine one did hiss as i unpluged it, they are all in the right places and ziped on. on the same day i took my maf out and my n75 as beaker needed to borrow them, but i didnt turn the car over till every thing was back in place, i also took the car to a garage and they pluged in a universal COM wich said maf fault + over rev + turbo pressure system fault, he cleard them and it still only hits 5 psi.
Iv tryed driving with maf unpluged but just made engine managment come on and still only 5psi, any one got any ideas PLEASE

i'll try that in a min, have you had this or is that just a good thing to try?

I've never heard of that actual error, so not sure if my car has thrown it up before :lol:

:think: yes, all wires and pipes ar done up and pluged in, thats why i dont understand whats going on.

You and me both mate, i think your car must have caught something from mine yesterday :(

I would try to reset the ECU, can't do any harm.

Mine seems to be healing itself, has been hitting 1.5bar quite consistantly this evening :shrug:

:think: know who your mates are :ban: :roflmao: no i think it is my one back in the car, the ECU is unpluged as we speak, so see how that comes out, i'll post later. I know all the wires and plugs are ok and in the right places and ways round.

I'll keep you all posted, and any more ideas welcome

TO BEAKER - As for your germ infested car stay away from mine and i sujest you top up the coolant with lemsip :blink:

Maybe you re-fitted the N75 the wrong way around?

The longest pipe should point towards the ground, fitting into the inlet pipe.

Pretty sure it went back on the right way, Olly?

give it a double check, check out the n249 guide page for a photo of the position it should be in :)

Serves you right for fiddling :D

Definatly not a coil pack, had plenty of them go to know what that is. ;)

No VAGCOM, but was checked on a universal diagnostics box earlier which showed no codes. :confused:
