Gonna remove and clean this sensor tomorrow, car keep stalling at idle and going into limp mode plus struggling to start. stupid question maybe but when i pull it out am i gonna get covered in oil or is the oring just to keep dirt out.
Have you checked the manifold to turbo bolts? Mine came loose and it sounded like the car was squeaking. Heres how loose they were, turns out they weren't OEM bolts..
sounds like a leak to me, when it dumps when you lift off sound stops. When my turbo died you could hear it whining all the time even when lifting off and it spooled down. This was mine when it was turbo gone..
Theres a place near me called area 52 autosport that does boost controller setup on a dyno for 75 quid. That way they can keep everything in check. Theyre a subaru specialist though. Id try and find a tuner near you that will set it up for you on a dyno rather than doing it blind.
Lol OK, they sell a hose that's not fit for purpose and its not their fault. A product should always be fit for what its designed for. Also I'm pretty certain the packaging says nomex on it.
That's the point, this hose is the top turbo elbow that comes directly off the turbo and is advertised to do so. its supposed to be heat proof and its why Audi used that weird orange rubber for the OEM one. I'm using a second hand forge one now off a mate and have been for 6 months with no extra...
I liked creation motorsport stuff until their turbo elbow melted on me.. Then they didn't respond to my emails. So now im here to slag them off :D and i will continue to do so every time i see a post asking about their hoses.
Its not the traction control... You can full throttle a healthy s3 without it bogging down even in the pouring rain. If it is the traction control, its broke.
I had this happen after i changed the fuel pump, it turns out i had over tightened the black ring and i think it popped off the end of the thread. I've put it on a little looser and its stayed put for 3 months now. But as tuffty says id take the top off and check the rubber seal is seated correctly.
Mine steams like this all the time. My work is only a 2 mile drive and it just makes it up to temperature. Every couple of weeks or so i take it for a blast down some B roads and it takes around 45 mins to an hour to finally stop looking like a steam train :D. It doesn't lose any water so im not...
