On my way to work today this morning once the car oil had warmed i decided to floor it a little as i was getting late. i was so shocked to feel no power or torque!! i looked at the boost gauge and i was only hitting 0.5bar at peak and boy was it not moving anywhere fast. In 3rd it took forever to reach redline.!
i switched off the engine at the lights and restarted it straight after and boost back to normal peaking at 1.2 bar or there abouts. I was so surprised by the difference then realised this is the boost on non remapped LCs. Im so glad i have a remap really makes a hell of a difference!
Anyways has not happened since but i wonder if the cause of this is the hose connected to the Split R?? Anyways i Know how to connect it now popped off the cover today and a look at FPR.
However the hose will get hot under this cover in the middle of the engine, so will it not be possible to connect it to the pipe which goes to the inlet manifold?? like in the picture on the previous page i posted, if it works! ??

your remapper should have vag commed your car first to check for problems otherwise you could have or 'are making the problem worse, sounds like you are hitting limp mode have you checked for boost and vac leaks? have you done a DV vac check?
and the place the other person 'tapped into is is done very roughly with B&Q garden hose,
I have connected it like this now please look below. Is this okay im reading -0.8bar at idle and peaks to 1.3 bar +/- there abouts. Dump valve back to normal whoosy noises are back!!
Anyone tell me if this is okay?

Must admit mine is taken from the top of the split-R and has been fine (car peaks at 1.4 and holds at around 1.2) and nothing comes up on Vag-com, but now i'm wondering if i should move it to the inlet manifold?

Hi guys an old thread from a while back, but i still suffer this problem of limp mode once a week or so but its fine again once i turn the engine off and on. Yesterday i moved the boost gauge hose to the FPR and cleared the error code 17705.
However today i drove to work as normal waited for oil to heat up gave her some throttle and nothing! no power! boost gauge hitting 0.5bar max and revs taking for ever to reach redline.

I plugged in my hand held vag com and the stupid 17705 error code was back!
This really is doing my head in
After turning the engine off and on im back to full power 1.4bar peak and holding at 1.1bar!
Its been fine all day now but i know in a few days there will be a repeat.
Any further ideas guys on what is causing this!??
if it hadn't been for the error i would have said this was that common problem that has cropped up with remaps. That Seat have written an error on some ECU that on cold days its reads incorrect. I dont know the full extent of this as someone on here told me about it cos im getting the same but i dont get the error code
