I'm yet to actually monitor the solenoid duty cycle with the pds and make recordings before and after to get some hard evidence that it works, It feels like it made a difference to my car and other people agree, just wanted some figures just out of curiosity Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/10/#findComment-499063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should it be done on a more regular basis?

Do they need lubricating every 10000km?

pelican Pelican Member 141 Member For: 19y 9m 1d Location: Gold Coast Posted 21/02/07 07:12 AM Share Posted 21/02/07 07:12 AM I did this on my car over the weekend, and it's definitely helped.... my cars been feeling lethargic of late.... but after this little 10 minute fix, it's certainly feeling like it used to......I think my car still has issues though, as it does not seem to pull as hard or for that matter as quietly as it used to...... and it's only got 38,000km on the clock.......
