What kind of Vauxhall is it? Sounds like the Air flow meter to me.

i think they have a boost sensor that stops any overboosting. if it does then it goes into limp home mode, or untill its sure everything is back to normal.

might be worht having a word with soem of the big Vauxhall turners about a remap. pretty sure they can turn that function off.

thanks Chris.

it was the particle filter aparently

there was a recal on this which meant that the thing should have been done before i bought it

anyway

whilst trying to make it fail again before taking it in to be fixed saturday morning i gave it a blast on the A27 and got 3 points for my troubles on my clean lisence

i am not happy
