What- as in post 2?Originally posted by Markymark View Post
The electrical connector can work loose and affect the standard diverter valve
Assume this would be the same on your Forge recirc valve i think you have Gaz?sigpicJog on NoddyComment

I think all the plugs/connections are the same had it s few times on odd occasion but seen to remedy itself in the past once left to sit for a few hrs no fault shows when plugged in when jamie checked just before Xmas whole have an exhaust fitted, just have to put it to pot holes & poor road surfaces vibrating it loose first time I tried remedying it while fault existed yesterday always seems to be when cold too.maybe just coincidence but a fact lolLast edited by Markymark; 02-01-2015, 19:30.Comment

yes chris as in your post#2 got the idea from that but had never bothered me before just tootled home & hoped it was ok later which it had been but then yesterday decided to see if it was the plug & looks like it was but at least I've proved it for myselfOriginally posted by Chris_Blue View PostLast edited by Markymark; 02-01-2015, 19:43.Comment

If your Turbo is knackered, may be an oppurtunity to upgrade? JCW Turbo :-)sigpicJog on NoddyComment

Ok update, spent 3 hours under the hood, took things apart, cleaned everything I could, checked all hoses. Must say i checked for any fault codes first and....nothing so took it out on the road and still no power, it was if it had reverted back to standard and I was beginning to think the map had disappeared, anyway (In a safe environment) I decided to rag the hell out of it, max RPM through as many gears as possible, did this for 10 mins or so then pulled over, checked for faults and still none, pulled away... no power so ragged the hell out of it again, stopped checked for faults....none, decided to have a fag while leaving car on tick over, got back in and guess what, normal service resumed
power back.... I have no idea what had caused the power loss but ragging the hell out of it seems to have done it some good, maybe a blockage somewhere....god knows. Anyone any ideas?
