Ive struck up a deal with a guy to do a part ex in exchange for his Caddy 2K.
He says it often goes into limp mode and has a boost leak somewhere, has anyone experienced similar and is there anywhere specific I should be looking for it when I go to see it?
Its about 180 miles from me hence wanting to do some research before I go up.
Thanks
Gav

Hi, you shore its a boost leak and its not the veins in the turbo sticking and giving incorrect boost reading putting the van into limp? Seen this many a time on high mileage vnt turbo’s. Hope this helps

Apparently it only happens at higher revs, after asking a few more questions the guy says the vans previous owner has put a self tapper through one of the pipes... As you do :S

I think its going to be underboost but I need to check it when I go up there, the guy said it doesnt do it all the time, its mainly when pulling away from a standstill etc.
