Question

I have the brickwall boost problem due to overfilling with oil. Has anyone got a picture of the solenoid that I need to clean out, as there is about 3 or 4 things bolted to the suspension turret which look like they may be the solenoid.

I dont want to spray Gunk into the wrong place and screw something else up. If no one has a picture could someone tell me what is printed on the solenoid so I can isolate it from the other stuff.


Thanks novice

i had this problem for the past 2/3 weeks also, the solenoid is mounted on the driver side strut, on mine, it has a black and red wire going into the top, along with 2 black pipes coming out the bottom, screw the whole thing off the strut (unplug plugs- makes it easier to work at) and take the bottom two pipes off, spray plenty of brake cleaner(not fluid) into these pipes, quickly put them back onto the solenoid and go for a burst b4 it evaporates....i done this procedure twice and it seems to have worked so far.
