So the revs bounce around on idle slightly - so far have done new plugs and new PCV. Get a code of P0518 which suggest idle air control valve or vaccum leak. My boost gauge has also stopped showing boost level when driving so a leak would make sense but don't know where to start to check - any...

Had to give in and get it to garage. His initial thoughts are the heads gone but going to look into it more next week and strip it down but no looking good. Will update once know more

Thank you going to try and get spark plug out tme if I can chance to see if fuel in there. And don’t worry I appreciate any suggestions so sooner say it twice than not at all

Im in Hucknall - Nottingham ive taken the feed (metal one) off the hpfp and there is a good feed of fuel there so assume this is the same as the rest you’re suggesting?

Having to us Carly as can’t get my Other one to connect at the moment

Thank you will try and take pump off tme to inspect and go from there

No going to do that in the morning as didn’t have a T30 till this evening - checked faults codes as well since and non recorded which I thought was strange

Traveling home yesterday engine light came on then drop in power until the car shut itself off - was on the motorway so not great then had to spend over and hour on hard shoulder waiting for a tow to get me home as car wouldn't start. Battery is fine I believe its a fueling issue - so I can hear...
