    Blacky Holding back under WOT in top

    As above my 855 t5 is holding back under wot one minute shes boosting 18psi then the boost dives down to 12psi and the car wont accelerate, feels like fuel starvation or a massive boost leak.

    I had this a few weaks ago, and it would appear the vac line to the compressor housing from the bcs had blown off! i sucured this line back on and all seemed ok. till today, the vac line seems flimsy so im thinking could it be collapsing under Boost? causing the symptoms above?

    Any ideas welcomed as i need to sort this asap as im to and from Great Ormond street next wk with my boy.

    Disconnect the bcs and put mbc direct to turbo .problem solved.but leave bcs pluged in but don't connect vac lines and any to the intake pipe block off.

    I read somewhere about replacing vac lines with braided rubber fuel hose rather than silicone no chance of it collapsing but you'll need to jubilee clip connections.

    no buddy, if its no the vac lines, it could be the pump, i did take a look at the pump and the brown sock thing that covers the return was ripped? dont think that would cause this issue tho tbh. Maybe the pump but im not gona shell out another £80 on a pump on the hope its that. Tbh ive got so fed up working on volvo's ive lost the love, if i cash all the volvo stuff in i should clear around £3k.

    the thing is merc you would not of lost the love if you always use Volvo genuine parts....others do the same to save money but then fork out twice plus the labour!

    The Volvo pucker vac. line hose is £9 per metre and that is enough to buy......no problems at all....silicon sucks and so does the price!

    If the car is driving fine and only going wrong on boost then leave it till you have sorted things with your son and then have a look after .turn the boost down and just drive it as a daily normal runner mate.

    Doubt it will help Gav but I noticed on my R that the solenoid going to the charcoal canister keeps sticking open, the one way valve in line with it is also now two way so it adds up to boost being lost to the charcoal canister ! Doubt it your problem but you never know.
    Old Car: 855 T5 in Grey and rust (dead and gone, well, most of it !
    Missus' ride: Citroen C4 coupe 1.6 HDi,
    Modifications: Nowt.....yet !
    Daily driver: 855 R in Black,
    Currently nursing a blown head gasket, new engine on its way !
    Recent addition: Freshly imported Honda Stepwagon,
    Slowly turning into a camper van !

    Agree with smithy Gav, don't give up on it. It's a tidy motor, definitely up with the top 855's for looks & everyone comments good things bar you anyway. If you get £3k for it in bits what you gonna get to replace it? Something that could cost you another arm or leg & something that won't get you the oldskool cool or popping flames that your lad loves.
    Use the car to take your mind off your other issues mate & keep your chin up.
