So I cleaned my cruise control radar on the weekend and now my cruise works perfectly again. Let my car idle for 5 minutes after a big drive when i got home, . Go to turn it off and the check engine light is on, I thought it would just be the brake pedal sensor, took for a spin with the brake pedal switch "off" and it still didn't clear. So this morning I checked the codes and I get 0235 and 0171

0235 Turbocharger Boost Sensor A Circuit Malfunction

0171 System too Lean (Bank 1)

Anyway I am pretty Stoked :no: , thinking maybe boost solenoid is caput? anyone else ever had a fauly like this? Please help if you can

Also at idle I get a very little miss I can hear and just see on the tacho, so going to do plugs etc aswell...............

Mmm, fuel regulator reference hose will definitely make it run lean. I eventually put cable ties around mine to stop this happening. Why did this make the boost sensor come up though?

Maybe because a decent amount of boost would bleed out of that pipe....?

      Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!

      Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup

      Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛

      Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...

      Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
