What did you do to your Polo today?

Binned the SAI pump.

Thought i bought the plate for the top of the SAI housing to make the job easy... Turns out it was the one for the side of the block, which made for a hurried evenings work. Maybe i should have started the job before 4pm haha.

How low was your boost when it was dropping, was it just a bit down or all the way down to wastegate actuator spring pressure?

Not exactly sure Sam. I'd assumed, and by the feel, it was around 7-9psi or whatever the boost level is when you disconnect the N75, so yeah spring pressure. It's intermittent boost drop, will drive fine, than a kick and it's slow.

You'll get that N75 error if its unplugged ie the ECU sees an open circuit at the N75 plug terminals or within the solenoid thats plugged to it. Check that the solenoid is 30 ohms, and that at the plug that the pin associated with the blue/black wire is 0 ohms to rocker cover earth, and the other pin is O/C to earth. Also check that between plug pins you get O/C to confirm no shorts are within the loom or back at the ECU output. If that all looks good ( and assuming its not an intermittent partial O/C within the solenoid itself) then I'd put my money on dry joints from plug-solenoid. Spray them with CRC contact cleaner and reseat the plug a few times and then some 2-26 or WD.

Thanks Sam, really appreciate the detailed response. Will put that into action.

After spending a year with the super pro sports dog bone engine mount I'm switching back to stock on the weekend, gotta say it did improve the overall feel of changing gears when driving but considering I spend 95% of the time sitting in traffic and 5% actually enjoying the car, it kind of sucks and makes the damn cup holder rattle non stop.

I'm almost certain your clutch will last longer with this mount as it changes the way you drive when taking off normally, being if you don't want to shake up your dash.

Fitted my boost gauge. Bit more of an inconspicuous spot compared to most. Have it sitting in the little tray under the steering wheel to the left hand side. Easily visible through the wheel

Excuse the horrible photo quality!

Washed it for the first time since I bought it in April.

The car spent most of the day in the driveway where washed of 3,700 km of bugs and did some much needed maintenance. While cleaning I jacked it up and power washed the engine bay, under carriage and wheels. With it up in the air I replaced the rear brakes and changed the oil (no filter because it wasn't available here) now I just need to order some parts. Here it is in the garage.

Whilst sorting out a fire extinguisher for track days, discovered the front seats have a pull out compartment below them

I found the passenger one when prepping for my cross country trip. Didn't check the drivers seat until 3am in the middle of trip when I was bored. I found a set spare bulbs for the car. It was a pleasant surprise. Now if I could only locate a manual.
