Is it possible to be in safety boost with a code 55?

yes, if you are detting, or have cold water temp or a broken temp sensor.

Ah i think the problem could be linked to my temp sensor.

 

Basically ive got a code 55 on the ECU but im on running a miniscule amount over 0.5 bar tho it has got up to 0.55 bar before in colder weather.

 

Could this be a boost leak or the mesh on my new bumper restricting the flow of air to intercoolers?

yes, if you are detting, or have cold water temp or a broken temp sensor.

 

 

Wouldnt the detting cause a code on the ECU?

No - you'd only get an error code (34) if the det sensor circuit develops a fault..

 

HTH

So what can cause detting then?and how do i know if ive got it apart from listening for it?

So what can cause detting then?

Lean mixture - too much air/not enough fuel :( Typically happens if you raise the boost too high, but can also point to a fuelling problem..

Okay basically im running standard boost though i did fill up with some 95ron to get out trouble when Optimax wasnt availiable could that cause something to do with the problems im experiencing.Strange thing is if im going quick ie 40mph then floor it the guage whacks round to just under 0.6!

Is there anyway i can check for boost leaks myself apart from going round all the hoses around the engine,tho i have smelt a bit of a fuel smell today while driving around with targas off.

Well tried a few things to resolve this and succeeded as a porsche driver found out as he couldnt lose me lol...while i was grappling with the steering wheel to stop wheel spin!

No seriously i deffo was in saftey boost,so i tried a few things.

 

1.tightend all fuel line clips and discovered some were loose.

2.found a split in fuel pipe near filter so cut it back and put back on.

3.When doing above i discovered a black straw like thing pushed into the fuel line-surely this must be resricting fuel flow so ive removed it!

4.Discovered temp sensor connector was nearly off and gunked up on the inside( i only cleaned it 3 months ago!)Its not sitting right on the sensor so i will need a new one soon.

5.Put some Optimax in

6.Tightend Turbo pipes and any other bost pipes i could get to.

 

Now m running 0.6 bar again! :hyper:

 

Thanks guys for the Advice

...while i was grappling with the steering wheel to stop wheel spin!

LOL - glad you got it sorted :cool: I'd recommend Racelogic Traction Control now you've got her running right again ;)

Not too sure if that black plastic straw thing wa supposed to be in the fuel line or not?

Its gone now though!

 

lol

Safety Boost back again this morning....

was working fine again last night,but me being in the inquisitive type decided to take the water temp sender unit out-clean and replace-now ive got safety boost again and cant get rid of it!

looks like you may have to rewire the connectors up, do a continuity check between the connector and a few cm up the wire, if they r ok then replace sender

Im replacing the sender and ordered a new connector off Mike Feeney as its brittle and broken.

Its got to be something to do with the Temp sender or connector as its the only thing ive touched from when it was working...

Its gone now though!

 

lol

 

Yes, it is supposed to be there, not sure what it's function is tho.

Its gone now tho!

 

Im keeping it just in case.
