Thanks I'll give that a go.
Is it just a case of disconnecting the ecu and cleaning all the connections on the ecu side and the SCART type connector ? And clean with a cloth or something? |

It's a WR, so fuel is related to the mechanical displacement of the metering flap for engine load, with input from the control pressure regulator on the left side of the block to the top of the fuel distributor. (The two long braided lines to the alloy lump located below and behind the injector cooling fan.
There's the WOT switch which acts to remove the control pressure regulation when on full throttle. Hence you must have a working throttle switch, and a working solenoid valve at the back of the engine bay. There is no input to the fuel pump. It simply pumps fuel at a rate above that needed, and the excess is returned to the tank. It just pumps. Performance Adjustment via the ECU is rudimentary only. This is why it is essential that the fuel system be working as specified. If the boost gauge is erratic, its likely a failing sensor on the ECU. As a gauge, it's a 'nice to have', but not essential. An overboost condition sensed by the ECU is your only concern- it's a hard cut of the ignition when boost is excessive, and quite alarming when you first experience it.

Thanks for the response so what's my next step as I said car seems to be driving perfectly. It's just that the boost gauge is all over the place.
Clean the connections on the ecu? Sorry I'm not very mechanical. |

Also just to mention the top engine temp sensor had a poor connection as it snapped off so I have one ordered from Quattro corner. I presume this would effect the running or explain the erratic boost gauge.

That temp sensor won't affect the boost gauge.
The ECU is up under the right side of the dash, bolted to the lower assembly plastics. I've heard tales of the sensor failing, but I've never seen it. The hose to it goes via a filter/vapour trap. Just take a look to see if the hose is secure, and the connections are clean for now. One thing at a time while you get your bearings. It's a slow process of elimination. A pic of the broken sensor would be good. Some are very basic connections, and corroded connectors abound at this age.

>>Sorry I'm not very mechanical.
I'd suggest you doNT touch the ecu. It's an expensive part to break! |
