RE: 91 200Q boost problems. Help!

["Mike Miller" <JoMi@msn.com>]

There were only two of these (WG frequency valves) in the country, and that 
was in a dealers stock, about 3 weeks ago. And I got one of them. Mine ohmed 
out good but was sticking partially open, limiting boost to about 1.3. Dealer 
price (not Linda) was ~$80. If the mechanic does not have acces to the Audi 
parts network, he will have to order one from Germany. There have been at 
least 3 of these bad in the last month or so. Mine, plus Ned knows of 2 
others. Maybe they have only a 5 year life.

I spoke with Dave's mechanic late last week, he is familiar with the
diagnostics of turbo cars...  He put 15-20 psi in the intake hose and got no
leaks....  The possibilities are: Bad WG freq valve, or bad Hoppen computer,
or bad wiring to said valve.....  Prolly the valve.....  Hope Dave posts us
tomorrow....
