Not long time ago, boost gauge went > little bit to red area in all gears from 2nd to 5th. > A couple of simple checks are. 1) is your gas cap loose. I think a lot of the more modern cars will show the check engine light but worth a look anyway. 2) Check your oil cap is on properly. Again simple free to do. 3) check for any vac hose leaks. A bit early for leaks to occur but a lose may have popped off or split. 4) Have you changed where you buy your fuel from recently? Different brand, or even different stations of the same brand can have fuel that behaves differently. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
