This is quite different to when I first tested the car.

When I test drove my C4s the pse seemed to be working fine.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

When I test drove my C4s the pse seemed to be working fine. As soon as I picked up the car it wouldn't switch to quieter mode. The guys who look after my car then 'closed the valves' to make it much quieter. New valves have since been fitted but the difference between loud and quiet is now marginal and it stays loud even when pressing the switch. This is quite different to when I first tested the car.
Any ideas what could be stopping the PSE to operate properly?
Thanks
Hello Seb, My C4S is with Paragon at this very moment and I have asked them to check mine as I have a similar issue. In my case though they report my actuators have seized. I was just about to post a request for assistance from the forum on part numbers and ask if this is a doable DIY replacement? Anyone have any ideas on both? RB
Thanks RB, the mystery continues! I have no idea having searched different forums. I know mine could go quiet as my garage recently closed the valves they say. I just cant figure it out. If you find out more please let me know and likewise I will do the same.
I have worked with Actuators for many I mean loads of different applications. And I can tell you this actuators seize but hardly ever brake with working and lube you can normally always get them going again even when they've not moved for years. Im not saying there accessible on a PSE exhaust because I've not worked on the system, I'm just passing on what I know about Actuators. Failing that they look like Vacuum ones to me and I've had loads on waste gates on cars that I'm sure would fit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Turbo-Wastegate-Vacuum-Actuator-for-VW-Golf-TDI-with-Garrett-VNT-15-Turbocharger-/170994502332 Not saying that fits but just as an example its generic parts that manufactures use, Try to get some specs and research it. Also try part no: "997 111 90 1 90" I think it might be the same.
Well thanks guys, Paragon have quoted £55 + Vat each but I think I might try taking them off first and seeing If I can free them based on thirteeneast info. I have checked the ebay option and whilst they do look similar I won't know until I remove them. I'll let you know Seb but as the car is not effected (far from it, my exhaust is stuck on loud) I'm not going to rush to lay on my back! RB
