Hi,
Any one know the location of the solenoid valve which controls the delivery of vacuum to the turbo diverter valve.
I had my cx-5 2013 back with the dealer who says they have fitted a new one, which hasn't fix the problem. Now I want to check if they really have if I can find it. I suspect it's down the back maybe accessable better from below.
Why do I want to check, well 80 miles from dealer to home took in on a Tuesday 9 o'clock got it back following Saturday, drove home found a small improvement which could well be due to two good hot motorway run's and fuel additives, parked up and opened bonnet. First noticed cover missing from battery + main fuse terminal, then found rubber air tube from filter not pushed onto the plastic connection to the inlet manifold at all, also small tube from EGR valve area to spigot just below the air filter hanging down and also the nut and washer which hold the plastic center section of the boost diverted gas tube missing.
So obviously they removed battery, removed air supply and boost diverter tubes to access the diverter valve assembly. But did they actually fit a new solenoid valve ? I want to check as I don't believe a word they say now given what they didn't do putting it back together.
Sent text and photos over a week ago so far no response.
By the way what they were supposed to be finding was reason for black smoke unburned fuel on acceleration and by the smell at all speeds but not visible.
