There's certainly no way you could ever tow anything never mind overtake anyone. Again usual, turn it off and on again cures it... temporarily.
So far I'm seeing faulty boost sensor and faulty wastegate solenoid as the two key ideas in the threads here - anyone got any evidence to say, replaced & fixed yet?
Two key questions:
1. Anyone able to comment on cost of these parts?
2. Can you fit them yourself? I know the boost one is just on top of the engine under the cover but don't know how delicate it is or whether you need any specialised tools, and in turn, where is the wastegate solenoid & how accessible etc. is it?
