The problem is not intermittent, it always happens when the engine is under
load i.e. full throttle in 3rd, 4th and 5th, pulling from low revs, it
happens more if the car is carrying extra weight. Thankfully I never have to
tow anything. It is not affected by heat, road conditions or anything.
I've never heard of the pressure transducer, where is it situated? It could
have already been replaced, so much has! BTW all the hoses have been checked
or replaced.
My personal thought is that it is some kind of electronic connection
(probably to the BPCV) that can only be tested when the car is at full
boost, making it almost impossible to test in the workshop.
Does anyone know where I could get hold of a wiring diagram for the turbo
system?
