p1238

Post by shookone »

Driving down the road, accelerated quickly and lost power but still running barely. You could hear the turbo whistle. Got under the hood and saw the throttle body pipe that connects to the small couplet was disconnected. I reconnected the hose and the car drives alot better. It still idles ruff from time to time. But it did pull up a flag p1238 TCV and po455 EGR flow Gross leak detected.. Now i just replaced the radiator last week. What other signs should i look out for if it is the Turbo control valve. Should i just replace the two upper turbo hoses between the throttle body pipe ( which has some oil on it)

I would clean the EGR tube also while you are at it. That will porbably fix the ERG code.

Thanks, by the way i was browsing the internet and ran across this 2.5" TURBO INTERCOOLER KIT w/BOV FLANGE B6 BPT B6T 13B
on ebay. If i replace something i like to replace all the hoses. Just thinking about upgrading down the line. Thanks for all the help.
