Title: 1.8T SAI delete but keep N249 Post by: turboat on March 09, 2014, 07:01:07 AM What are peoples opinions on keeping the N249, but deleting the SAI pipework? Im missing the SAI pump and the pipework looks like a nasty mess, but the N249 seems to serve a useful purpose and there are a fair few comments on here saying that their car drove worse after deleting the N249.
This is for an AUQ 1.8T from a 2001 Leon. Title: Re: 1.8T SAI delete but keep N249 Post by: userpike on March 09, 2014, 12:22:23 PM let the n249 do its magic.

Title: Re: 1.8T SAI delete but keep N249 Post by: turboat on March 10, 2014, 07:24:11 AM Cheers guys :) Can I delete the SAI and leave the n249 in place? Happy to make up pipework as necessary. I was planning on doing/getting a SAI delete in the ECU, which I'll upload just as soon as I can get the laptop talking to the ecu.

btw you can use the plastic bottle cap with some kind of seal to close hole in air filter box Title: Re: 1.8T SAI delete but keep N249 Post by: userpike on March 10, 2014, 04:33:22 PM unless parts are needing to be replaced and cost is an issue, why delete the sai?

I'm missing a fair bit of the pipework and the SAI pump, so see it as an opportunity to remove pipework that may spring a leak.

Title: Re: 1.8T SAI delete but keep N249 Post by: diagnosticator on September 11, 2014, 11:03:41 PM SAI and the N249 solenoid valve are functionally unrelated . Maybe you are thinking of the N112 solenoid valve used to switch vacuum to open the combination valve that controls the air flow from the SAI pump into the exhaust ports? The N249 switches either manifold vacuum/boost pressure or vacuum pressure from the vacuum storage reservoir in the case where the ECU wants to open the DV if there is boost pressure in the intake or during certain low load cruise modes where opening the DV will reduce pumping and throttling losses.

Correct. The N249 has nothing to do with SAI.

Wierd thing is most of the howtos on doing an sai delete also cover removing the n249, which seems a lot more useful.

Title: Re: 1.8T SAI delete but keep N249 Post by: turboat on September 12, 2014, 04:04:26 PM Keeping the n249 seems useful. It's certainly working well with it still in place

After reading a few forums seems mixed views about keeping it or losing it. I might plumb mine back in see if there are any noticeable differences.....
