  3. N249 bypass issues...

    Hello all After reading many posts about people doing an N249 bypass i thought i'd give it a go yesterday. all went smoothly but is there any chance that doing this will actually slow my car down? I'm not sure if its just me but it feels slightly less powerful than it did with the N249? I...
  4. N249, worn T-connector

    Hi Is there any "danger" of driving around with a open leak from the pipe that goes from the left side of the inlet manifold and to the N249 valve? Nearly got to work and the car started to drive odd. Vagcom said mechanical failure of the N249, opened bonnet and the silicon hose on the...

    Anyone got an accurate diagram of the BAM/AMK LCR 1.8T (N249 related)

    Mainly interested in the boost control system (N249 and assorted hoses etc.) I've found 3 but none of them seem correct (for different version of the 1.8T I expect) For reference here is an image of the LCR N249 hoses shamelessly nicked from the excellent N249 guide This looks...

  10. N249, combi valve and secondary air pump

    Folks, My secondary air pump is full of rusty water, and as dead as a dead thing that's been deaded a couple of times to make sure that it's dead. I've found various people who say that the likely cause of this is a faulty combi valve, letting exhaust fumes into the pump, which condense in...

    Did the N249 mod tonight

    Thoroughly recomend it, much better to drive. No funny hesitation if you take your foot off the throtle just as it comes into boost. Also stuck my boost gauge in, just temporarily, as i haven't got a gauge mount pod yet. Spikes over 20psi, and holds at around 18. So i'm guessing it's already...

    Boost before and after N249 bypass

    Hello all, just looking for your comments, i did a log this morning and noticed my Boost was fluctuating up and down at around 19 to 20 psi, i did two logs one before the n249 nypass and one after, the run after seems to have a more smooth boost curve. Comments are welcome, i plotted the...

    N249 bypass, a bit of help please

    after doing a search on doing the N249 bypass all i can find is photos of a Leon cupra r or an Ibiza 1.8t although it may be roughly the same it's dropped my confidence in doing mine as i'm not very mechanicaly minded although small things i can achieve. my car is the 180bhp Leon sport with an...
  18. n249 bypass

    After reading the threads on this and how to guides I wasn't too sure on how to do it. But once I decided to go for it I found it really easy to do. There is nothing hard about doing it at all just sounds like it. Once done i noticed a slight change in the car nothing major but thats with hardly...

    N249 and vac resevoir removed - spare vac connectors.

    I assume once you do this you end up with a few vac connections that have no hose attached to them. What do you block these up with?

    N249 Bypass What Resistor?

    Hi, I've done the N249 bypass but i want to take the valve out completely. I understand that the valve needs to be plugged in so that the ECU doesn't throw a hissy fit. What resistor can i put in place of the N249? Thanks Rich
