A Newbie Again.........Honey I'm Home

Featured Replies

Hello Brisky,

I'm back in town after 3 years absence in the Vauxhall world.

I have bought my old VRS back as it was up for grabs. A few Little issues to sort out from a VAG COM Scan (no boost), but very happy with my purchase. It's a 2004 vRS 103k £1500.

Test drove and deposit paid today.

Just waiting for the plates to transfer away and I can collect her.

Looking forward to the Skoda world again.

Right i have bought ready for when i collect her to get to the bottom of the boost problem

VAG AUDI VW 1.8T RECIRCULATING DUMP VALVE BLOW OFF BOV (As a test piece, as it has a Forge 007 fitted by me last time)

Wynns 54101 500ml Fuel Injector Intake and Carb Cleaner (Bit of cleaning)

Mass Air Flow Meter MAF cleaner - new - for ALL CARS (Bit more cleaning, I replaced the MAF, just before I sold her so hopefully a clean will do for now)

K&N 57i Induction Kit (57-0430) for Skoda Octavia (Not a carbonio, but the carbonio was removed by the reseller when I traded, so cheap this time round, brother in law is making me a heat sheild)

Hopefully a bit of tinkering and Boost will return, unless a its a split pipe, then more purchasing to do.

Just waiting for a couple of N75 vlaves to end on ebay.

VAG COM Errors were for ref:

Check DV

MAF Flow Error

Secondary pump incorrect flow

I know this car very well and had all the errors in the past myself, so hopefully no mare to sort.

So correct me if im wrong, youve fitted the ebay Diverter valve and a K&N, and even though its a resirculating valve, you can clearly hear it dumping.....?

Sounds lovely. Away to search Ebay.......... :evil:
