Have you checked the actuator to see if it is sticking? a common problem with them |

Yes, checked and lubricated some time ago. Didnt seem to be stuck in any way but it's definitely getting worse. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

could be a faulty boost pressure sensor? Definitely seems to drop out rather than decrease slowly. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

^ Is that something that can be replaced on its own?

You have either 1 actuator seized, a wiring issue to the actuator, or a faulty actuator

Thanks Mikey, is this showing at the LH turbo? When the Indy checked it, they said it was the RH (o/s) that was flagging an error? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

You are not measuring boost pressure in those graphs, that is only the actuator position of both turbos.

Thanks Mikey, I do have the actuator repair kit, which is essentially a new actuator arm. Would it be worth doing this before considering the whole turbo! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I can't picture the turbo ATM. No idea what access is like.

Interestingly enough, drove to Liverpool and the problem seems to have disappeared!

was probably just the inlet tract clogged up with soot/oil sludge. |
