Ok lads,
I was having the annoying 17536 (system too lean) problem for quite a while putting me into constant limp mode. Finally bought a new maf which cleared that problem.
However I am still running limp, now due to 17965 (positive deviation or overboost as I read on here). This fault comes back immediately after clearing (first time I use boost)
I've searched this code, and althought it mostly appears on Tdi's??, I read that it is either N75 valve, leak in vac hoses, or MAP sensor, or sticky turbo valve's (not sure about them...)
anyway, I checked the vac hoses also those going to and from n75 valve and they are sound.
Then checked if TIP was on nicely, as this was the problem with Danny Lad last year, but this is nice and snug as well.
However did see that I am missing an entire bolt, nut and washer from the downpipe!! So thats being held on by 3 instead of 4 now. Anyone know the parts numbers to those 3 items so I can atleast replace that? Surely thats losing me some boost...
also, I noticed that the MAP sensor isn't too tight on the Forge replacing pipe; but of course due to these cars being so tightly built engine wise, I need to take the map sensor pipe out to tighten it. Will do this shortly.
So if someone could shed some light on those parts numbers (i looked at the k03s list, but not sure which ones are the correct ones) and possibly other cures I would be extatic.
Selling the car like this will be very difficult
cheers lads
