Default Vag-Com question
Is there anyway to check for a boost leak using Vag-Com? My g/s air mass reading is peaking at 112, is this normal?? (1.8T 150hp)

what do you mean check for boost leak? you're not gonna be able to pinpoint where the leak it. you can usually hear the boost leak though. is your car running funny?

I suspect a boost leak (whoosh noise at around 2K RPM, also my intercooler is damaged due to bump)so I was wondering if the Vag-Com software can be used to identify a possible loss of compression?

Nope no light on dash, Vag-Com's autoscan brought up coolant sensor intermittant and lambda sensor intermitant...
