850 T5 Loss of power and turbo boost - PLEASE help :-)

Aug 28th, 2003, 18:26

I recently noticed a loss of power and that the boost meter only goes about one third of the way into the white. Also I have been getting an ECU error with engine warning light of 2-3-1 - which, I understand, indicates a possible induction leak. But would an induction leak be enough to cause this amount of power loss? If you have any suggestions or help I would be really pleased to hear from you - even if it is bad news - thanks!

Hi Mark,

have you repaired the split in pipe by the turbo yet, or is the low boost reading with the split pipe - if so, there's your answer!

Cheers

Brian

Bear in mind that you will be loosing boost pressure via the split elbow, fix it then see if you still have the problem.
