Wheres my boost gone??
« on: January 03, 2013, 10:15:34 am »

Morning all,

My car seems to have lost its R-Tech boost this morning, i'ts driving normally but has no power. Is there anything I should be looking at before I book it into the garage?

Thanks in advance

I'd bet at least 10 pence it's the diverter valve.  :happy2:

Mine seems to have lost its boost as well and gained a whistle. I'm gonna get a new DV fitted as I'm hoping that is the problem.

Well VW looked at it straight away and................. It was the DV! All fitted and ready to collect tomorrow morning.

Little punchy but great service from VW which was a surprise, unfortunately my usual specialist couldn't look at it until next Wednesday.

Thanks all
