v40 1.9 T4 boost control solenoid WANTED

pistonbroke · Jul 5th, 2009, 21:11

Hi guys and dolls, I am after a bcs for my 1998 p1 v40 1.9 T4. Just trying to eliminate some of the "know problem parts" as my T4 isnt boosting properly. Would also like to try a MAF for the same. Willing to pay good prices.

you could try a mbc if you have a boost gauge fitted(if you cant get your hands on a bcs)

Hi Bonus123, thanks for your reply.I just think that it would be to fiddly to fit and am just after the cheapest and easiest way to try and cure my boost problem.

i know what you mean mate,the mbc is a doddle to fit but without a gauge you could be asking for trouble,saying that,gauges are not hard to install and it could help you see exactly what boost(if any) you are getting,just a thought

ive got a maf that i bought for my old t4 when i was trying to sort out a few probs with that,i put it on and it made no diffrence what so ever so i took it back off again,it was only a cheapo one but your welcome to it if you cant get an original

Did your old T4 have a maf problem that you knew about or were you just (like me) changing it to see if it was the maf that was faulty (if that makes any sense?). I would just like to try and at least eliminate it.

on mine it was more of a starting prob,used to crank for 5 or 6seconds before coming to life(was the fpr) and it was holding back slightly when you kicked the nuts off it,cured with a new fuel pump. i went down the change as many things as i could route but it was good experience!

since buying her about 5 weeks ago, i have been trying to find out why she isnt boosting. i have changed a faulty actuator but its still not "putting that smile on my face!"

keep the faith mate! once you get it running right you will love it,i had a bit of a clart on with my t4 when i first got it but eventually it was spot on an went like a rocket. i would really be thinkin about a gauge,even temporary, loads of guides on fitting knocking about an if i can do it anybody can.
