Since the first day I bought this beautiful car it is bothering me temporarily with this shitty check-engine light. Now 18 months later, I nearly can feel, when the light will get on. Accelarating from low rpm or running really fast (Autobahn :-)) for a longer distance et voila, here it is. Normally I had to wait several days or to release the battery cable for more then 20 sec and the light went out. But now I found a reproducable way to kill it. If I try to reach and hold higher rpm (4.500 to 5000; this is an real effort with only basic boost) it takes about 20 to 30 sec and suddenly the light is out and boost comes back. Btw.: Last year I renewed the APC solenoid. I don't know exactly, but after that renewal I never had again boost like before (before: exactly at the beginning of the red area; today: 2 or 3mm to the beginning of the red area). Any Ideas? Peer
