can someone with a 2.2 dti please do me a favour. open your bonnet, look at the wastegate (i think it should be closed position).

Then start your engine and see if the vacuum fully opens the wastegate on start up?

Mine is doing it and im pretty sure its not meant to do it

Thanks

any help very much appreciated, thanks

I would have a look on mine mate, but it's not running right either and I wouldn't want to give you false information. 

One of the dti experts will be along shortly, I'm sure...

Thanks, I'm thinking it's a solenoid that's faulty, unsure which, but it's really annoying. When I start the car it runs fine, but wastegate is pulled fully open. If I leave it to idle, the engine management light comes on. If I then set of driving with the light on, it's obviously extremely slow.... but then once in second or third the light goes off and the vacuum system fully opens the wastegate again. If driving constant speed below 60, the light comes on until I put my foot down again. Light comes on whenever I am at idle revs for 10-20 seconds or more, only coming off when I drive it. Just looking to see that the vacuum isn't supposed to open the wastegate fully then take it from there. Then maybe find out if a solenoid is magnetized as it feels like the polarity is backwards... for instance, vacuum pulls wastegate wide open, when I stand and rev on spot, the wastegate starts to close. As I ease off pedal, wastegate opens again

Has anyone experienced this problem??

And the fault codes are?

For info waste gate open equals no boost, waste gate shut equals boost

Ah thanks for that, my open and closed description is backwards then!

I can't get to garage till later on in week to get it plugged in, I thought I would ask on here in the mean time

Thanks
