I've got an intermittent DSTC that appears when the car is at high boost & high load.
The code is P1238 = ECM-6806 Turbocharger (TC) control system flow fault Flow too high. Permanent / intermittent fault
Visually I can't find any split or loose hoses that may be the source.
Vadis suggests pressurising the air inlet side with compressed air and using soap solution to trace the leak. Fine if you have a ready source of compressed air and some sort of adapter but I don't.
Does anyone have any suggestions for tracing the leak? In particular of creating enough boost in the system to blow bubbles even when the car is stationary.
thanks,
Robb
