Check Vsc - Is250

[james250]

A few occasions during last winter I had the check VSC sign pop up and then disappear after a restart and driving off. Today it came back as it was a cold night but this time the message is not disappearing. The car seems to be driving fine. I've added a can of BG44K but hasnt made a difference yet. Also I have the airbox drilled holes mod which makes the nice intake noise, but with this error I noticed the intake noise doesnt seem to be there anymore

nevermind, i think i have sorted it out. the intake noise thing pointed me in the right direction, so decided to take all the plastic covers off to inspect and realised there was a vaccum leak on the air intake pipe which had some oil stain on it. The factory clip seemed to have lost its tension so i replaced it with a jubilee clip. Then took of the Negative terminal and left for 15mins while cleaning the engine plasitc covers. Then after i restarted it, i let the ECU do it's re-learning for 10minutes and went for a 30minutes drive and so far so good and my intake noise is back to normal.

Good to hear everything is OK now. I have the Joe-Z intake pipe and a couple of holes in the air filter box, sounds really nice.

Result!! Well done....it's always worth a little investigation when there's a problem.
