ok google topbuzz and look on that site is shows how do the paper clip test
the plug you need to have is white and it in the fuse box under the steering wheel, i think it has 12 connections, look at topbuzz and it will show you what to do, onceyou have the codes post them up and we will help

Right ive read it up on top buzz and im pretty sure my code is flasshing up 117 which means wastegate valve, low voltage.
Can sum 1 confirm this please and it may be due to my acuator being needed to be set up but ive also read its related to the amal valve so il check the wires to that and clean the conections up.

you need a new amal valve i think, best thing to do is change then leave it plugged in, but then get a manual boost controller which is better

i will have a look in the garage for you i have that many spares lol check the sparks what colour are they,
ok try this for me, take the pipes off the amal valve and put a single pipe straight from the turbo to the actuator (cutting out amal), leave the amal valve plugged in tho
then test it

Right ive done that mate and still no change.
Im thinkings its more like the spark/fuel system as everything i do makes no difference.
When its idling i took oyt the plug leads 1 by 1 ans the 1st 1 (longest lead) makes no difference, when i took the plug out put it in the lead and held it to earth its sparking fine. Therefore im thinking it could be the injector so im gona check the connection, then swap the injector position with the 1 next to it to see if the problem moves to cylinder 2 or stays at cylinder 1, does that sound logical to you mate?

have you got the sequence right for the leads as it will run if two are not in the correct order or is it just that one (long lead) that is doing it

take the injector out, leave it plugged in and put it in a jar, crank the engine over and it should squirt into the jar, wont be much but should be some try that

Right mate, i cudnt rele fit n e thing under the injector to keep the others going so i swaped them round with the 2nd cylinder.
Started it up and it was still firing on three, took the leads off 1 by 1 agen and its still the 1st cylider not making any difference.
Took the plug out and its wet with fuel so im thinking the only thing it could be now is that 1 of the valves for the 1st cylinder hasnt re seated right, bit of crap or sumate maybe from the rebuild ? 
Il still be coming the a38 tonite how mate so il come and speak to you if i find u, il be in my other car the silver polo gti with polished audi wheels and big audio.

well my car isnt hard to miss i will be either going up and down or parked up look out for me and i will look for you,
it sounds to me like the lead is fucked
have you checked all other sparks what are they like
your getting fuel in, the valves will be fine if they wernt you would be back firing into the intake manifold

Not good.
Just done a compression test and theres no compression at the missing cylinder . I know the piston and rings are fine so its telling me 1 of the valves aint sat right since the rebuild

that can be sorted, you can either do it the long way or short
short you need to remove cam cover take out the cam and re sit the valve,
long take the head off and do it all again
