What it says really, what success have people had?
After changing lambda and checking over water temp sensor and both now ok and good, i think im left with either
1) vacuum leak - possible as idling about 1000rpm now
2) ECU repair just didnt repair it
Id prefer option 1 but need to find a way to test it.

Blow smoke from a fag into the system.
Worked for me to see a loose nut between turbo/manifold.

Used fag smoke for side of the road testing. Tend to use a cheap smoke machine now, just waft it around the engine bay and you can see the smoke get sucked into the leak.
