    Default Pulsing boost

    Hi, since cleaning the egr and boost sensor when the car comes on to boost it sounds like the turbo keeps cutting out and cutting back in again, judging by the 'whoosing' noise, almost like its 'pulsing' any help appreciated, Cheers Gaz.

    Just wondering if this could be the boost sensor going west? I don't think it's egr as it still has decent power it's just sometimes the turbo seems to 'whoosh' intermittently whilst under steady throttle without affecting the speed of the car, Gaz.

    Gazza thats most interesting, I've a similar issue with the turbo on my CDTI 150 and was looking to remove the turbo and check the vanes. However I've had dodgy glow plugs for a while, just ordered some new ones today.

    how do you know when your glow plugs need replacing ,do you get a error code coming up .
    or do i need to do that pedal test thing just curious.
