Trying to understand what each one means exactly in order for me to find an appropriate fix. Any insight would be highly appreciated

17963 - Charge Pressure: Maximum Limit Exceeded

I'd ring the place you got your remap, they may want to check it out. (Edit - that's probably why the car is going into limp mode.)

The others look to me like a possible grounding issue or battery issue, altho some folks have reported funny errors after mapping which don't come back when cleared. Try clearing all codes and scan again in a day or two.

Could be N75 related..

One of the possible causes..

"Solenoid Valve for Boost Pressure Control (N75) defective"

 

[EL]

Thanks for the input guys, I now have some logs as well so going to mail it over to AmD to get their take on it. Car seems to be boosting again but errors are still there. Could be a string of things, such as DV sticking, N75 valve or connection to the valve, actuator sticking, plus other possibilities from what I have gathered whilst reading through sites

Yeah, get it emailed over to them or PM Ben on here.
My bet is N75. They seem to be all the rage for failing at the moment, lol.

Hope you get it sorted soon as poss mate.

Got a response today from the retailer where I purchased the downpipe and decat and they are saying its been jig checked and that they both fit ok. Some mumbling about when fit the we shouldn't had tightened any of the bolts until all the system was fitted as the flange has slotted holes giving you adjustment to rotate but from what I remember the guys never as it was so off. Not sure what to do, fight it out with them or not. They obviously not going to listen as they think they are a big brand and have final say. Bit ticked off as you can imagine

 

[D.K]

EL Who did you buy it off ?
It is a Milltek is'nt it ?

 

[EL]

Yeah it is mate. I'm not slating them down in anyway, I know they know their stuff etc but something obviously gone horribly wrong here. Purchased through roadrunner motorsport

 

[D.K]

Might be worth haveing a word with Milltek.
I'm planing on going to Inters at the weekend so I'll be seeing the guy's from Milltek, If you drop it round I could show them and ask what they think.

 

[EL]

Yeah going to ring them direct to speak to them first. Il see how I get on and if still im not convinced i probably pop it over mate. Thanks for that mate, appreciate it

 

[EL]

Went down to AmD to get the car checked. It's been hitting limp mode every now and again and also had a few errors being reported when I last ran VAGCOM on the car.

Guys did a hours worth of checking and it seems the car was hitting the boost limit on part throttle. This was down to the MBC as they totally uninstalled it and all is running fine. I installed the MBC to run inline with the N75 valve but obviously was interfering too much.

Have to admit the car feels different now or it might be in my head. Car felt like it pulled more aggressively before although the guys are saying its pulling better now without it. Will see how the car does in the next few days and run some logs over the weekend. All in all im very happy with the service today from the guys. They spent the time to investigate and not charge me which was a touch

 

[EL]

Don't you just love it when you run a scan on VAGCOM and find no errors yes I know I am a geek!!

I do have a slightly annoying noise however. Whenever I go to hit full boost I hear a beep, sounds electrical as opposed to mechanical but then it's difficult to hear it thanks to the loudness of the car

 

[EL]

Ok I think I know what that noise is. Sounded more like a boost leak today and I can't find any info on these cars making electrical noises without any lights coming on. Always interesting trying to find a leak!

Also today the Team GTR lot decided that we will be heading to Ultimate Street Car again this year. Will most likely get a stand like last year which was cool. Means I have a few weeks to find this leak and do my usual checks on the car

Yup it's like a little game, turn car on check liquid gauge, no problems whoop

 

[EL]

Not much of an exciting update, but been doing the usual checks on the car and sorting any possible issues out for the trip to Santa Pod next weekend for Ultimate Street Car. Should be a good show and can't wait to get the car back on the drag. Should be able to beat my previous best of 14.8 when the car was still running standard map!!

Quick pic on how the cars looking at the moment. I raised the front ever so slightly last week, spot on for me now.

Love how the cars running at the moment both with straight line performance and going round turns. Had a nice tussle with a E46 M3 and he was shocked with how the LCR was pulling away from him. Its only then when you realize how different the car is from standard

So so glad I'm getting my wheel refurb done El, our cars look very similar!

Have a good one at Santa Pod!

Looks good mate

I know mate very similar indeed, not a bad thing tho I'm still struggling to decide on what route to take my wheels. Either a refurb or a change of wheels. Need to decide very soon tho!!

Thanks mate, should be fun. Got to love a bit of racing

Defo not a bad thing matey

If your thinking replacement wheels, which one's? I'm sure you'll make the best decision possible bud.

I would like a set of BBS' for mine, but it's just too much money to throw at the car now when there's so much more to be done yet.

Can't beat a legal blast!

 

[EL]

BBS wheels are one of the options, I know they have been done a fair amount but they do look sweet. Also looking a few other designs, bit more unique to the Leon but will see what I end up doing. I do love the standard wheels but at times do fancy a change

Legal blast indeed. Had another earlier today with my mates Subaru STI and he was loving it. Neck and neck all the way. That's impressive seen as it has the 2.5 litre high torque block

 

[tyrer]

Dare I say the word - replica?

We live in a throw away society and I couldn't justify £900 on a set of wheels (no tyres) when I won't have the car long enough or have the same set up on the next car to use the fitment.

I would like either Staggered CH's, Subaru PP7's/Inovit Redlines or Comp Mo 18's.

It's hard when not alot of wheels suit the LCR shape!
