Lightbulb What the Lord Gives with one hand, He takes with the other

Interesting that stock, my D5 185 is boosting at a max 22.3psi or 1.53bar and I think I understand why, Ying and Yang. I suppose it explains why It still goes like S**t off a Shovel at 235,000 miles. Sadly mine has been throwing it Toys out the pram of late. There's always a surprise waiting to be discovered under the bonnet of a 185bhp as you unravel it's quirky secrets. Some parts are as strong as Thors Hammer, then the smallest of faults can have such a damaging impact on the car. The smallest of air or return pipe leaks generating a rough idle. A split diaphragm on the EGR Cooler bypass valve, will pump air into your exhaust camshaft, slow the car A warm up time and prevent one of the Regeneration tools from functioning properly. Because only the switch is linked to the ECM, the failed Vacuum actuator alone will not throw a code.
Last buy not least, I've swapped out a (Degassed) Aircon Pump in less time than it takes me to change a headlight bulb.
