After fitting a new broken hose just behind the firewall feeding the ProfecB spec2.........still only 0.5 bar

 

Have run a current through the solenoid valve and can hear it click so all must be fine with that.

 

Taken off and re-fitted all air lines to and from the solenoid valve checked all electrical connections and all seems well....still on 0.5 bar

 

Looks like the controller will have to be sent back to the states for testing which will take a few weeks........has anyone any other idea's i could try before doing this tomorrow????

 

Is there a way of checking if the controller is or isn't working for sure before i send it tomorrow some sort of resistance test or something????

 

The only other way i can tell for sure is if anyone who lives in or near London would let me check with their contoller to see if it works or not in my 300.......

 

Thanks Alex

The profecB uses the same solenoid as the Apexi AVCR.

it can be tested fairly simple by just putting 12Volts on it (black wire: -, red wire: +)

 

Are you sure you have the solenoid connected correctly ?

(COM to wastegate actuators and NO to both nipples on intercoolerpipes)

 

The solenoid is normally open, and as soon as 12V is applied the solenoid should close

(at that point you should not be able to blow any air through the in/out ports)

Does this mean as soon as i switch on the controller i should be able to hear a click????

 

If i don't then prehaps the controller is faulty???

I'm not sure, but a way of testing the controller is by applying approx. 1 bar of pressure to the controller's pressure sensor and the solenoid should start to make a clicking/buzzing sound.

Don't think my breath is that strong?????

 

I'm going to re-connect the stock solenoids and re-connect the hoses and see if everything works as it should.....if it does then the controller is definately caput if not then it's the controller....

it isn't ? :D

 

well, in that case maybe try using an air compressor. ;)

Had a brainwave last night......reconnected the standard solenoids and hoses to see if all was well with the standard set up.......it was i was getting about 8.5 PSI when i reconnected the controller i was only getting about 6.3 therefore the unit must be faulty so i've sent it and the solenoid back this morning......have been trying to sort it for over a week now and have just had enough.......
