You know vac lines are different to intercooler pipes ae?Sorry! Yeah I guess that wasn't the best way of putting it, I checked the vac lines I just meant that I checked the intake pipes and everything as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have already logged code. Im tipping throttle and pedal position errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
