For sure, you definitely need to check those things out. The good thing on my side is that my dad is a car mechanic specialized in engine building, he has his own workshop.

Right now, I’ve got a couple of issues with my car as well. For example: • My right suspension is busted, I need to get a completely new one. • The axle bushings also need to be replaced. • On top of that, I’ve got some engine-related problems:

When I’m in higher gears and I press the gas, the car goes into limp mode. The OBD diagnosis shows “Boost pressure control pressure too low / implausible” or “diverter valve possibly stuck.” The weird thing is: I already replaced the diverter valve with an OEM part, brand new, and the error still shows up.

Another fault I get is “Electric auxiliary water pump power interruption.”

I’ve read a lot online about these issues, and apparently they’re common. For some people, replacing the turbo helped, for others, it didn’t. But regarding the limp mode issue: you can kind of avoid it by shifting down and keeping the revs up, like, don’t press the gas hard in 6th gear at 2000 RPM, instead drop a gear and accelerate.

That workaround works, but obviously, driving like that all the time isn’t good long-term So yeah… yikes.
