Hi, I checked the clamp at the condensor, nothing came loose.
At this time the problem become worse, the boost gauge read
0.2 bar at idle, and when I press the throttle slightly, it's still
at 0.2
bar right to 3,000 rpm !!!??? ( yes, in " D " position of gear gate ).
moreover at speed of around 55 mph, I press throttle to
3/4, the boost gauge read just 1.6 bar, and no pulling power at all.
Is this caused by wastegauge or ECU malfunction ?
thanks
