At 150k km the supercharger did, unfortunately sometimes, not kick in when putting your foot down at 40m/hr. No relationship with hot or cold engine. It appeared to be the crankshaft sensor. At 300k km same thing. I replaced crankshaft and camshaft and temperature sensors. Checked the supercharger elektromagnetic initiator. Found that the intercooler (below the supercharger) was toast and replaced it. Replaced the coil. Ignition is not the problem. All injectors work and all temperature readings are ok.
Does anybody have an idea in what is the problem here? I know the distribution chain has slack because the crank and camshaft show an angle difference, that could be the problem? To replace this I need to take the engine out which I would rather not 😂.
I want to take the car to at least 500.000 km 😄 and will never give up on my baby.
Thanks and kind regards,

I had similar problem and changed ic pump and it continued having supercharger cut out. I found a post on forum about wiring a connection in fuses to have the pump always on when ignition is on. This took care of problem with no cost. May wear out the pump earlier is the only downside.
