Default my display shows .2 bar at idle

My guess is that it is a sensor, but...after taking the car out, the display shows .2 bar at idle. A few days ago it did this and I gave it gas to use the turbo and it went back to 0. This morning it started showing .2 when I started it and after using the turbos stayed at .2. Does anyone know what is going on? no other warning lights come on and car runs fine.

thanx
Danny

with mine (and i guess it may be a different design) it was the relay controlling the boost gauge behind the clock making an intermittent connection. took it out and put it back in again a few times to clean the contacts and been 100% for 2 years since. worth a try

Had the same issue. Got to the point where it always showed .2 in the display. Replaced the boost sensor and no problems since.

There have been a few threads on this. I had the same problem as well - new boost sensor seems to solve the issues here.

Does anyone have a part number for the boost sensor, and where is it located?
my local dealer parts counter can't seem to figure it out.
thanx
