ssaunders 199 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi as title, I've spent a bit of time under the bonnet and after my last adventure my boost solenoid keeps clicking, even with just the ignition on. It wasn't doing this before so I am thinking its fubar! Am I correct? Why would it just start (I'm guessing jammed open throttle didn't help) any help appreciated.CheersSteve Link to post Share on other sites
ssaunders 199 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Sorted, I think?After buying a replacement N75 (not yet delivered) I was chatting to a fellow petrol head at work (Ford man, but can't hold that against him) he suggested an ECU reset as solenoid is ECU controlled and should only energise when told by it. Sound logic and it worked! The ECU must have got its knickers in a twist when I totally f*cked the throttle body!Lessons learnt1) like the quacks, if you assume it's bad news get a 2nd opinion2) don't assume and save spending £100+ on unneeded parts3) and I should know this being in IT, turn it off and on again!Anyone need a genuine VW 034906283J (apparently the best one for the 1.8T) 3 port boost control solenoid? £55 deliveredPeace out.Steve Link to post Share on other sites
