hey guys been loitering around the site for a while but obviously this is my first post ive got a gt tdi 150 golf showing 17961 fault code, the car is totally flat to 2200 rpm then its off like dirty stuff of a shovel,it also for the first time today went into limp on the motorway and wouldnt go over 75 mph so has anyone got any ideas what that sounds like or should i just assume the vnt is sticking on the turbo?? thanks in advance! Allan
What does it say with that code? Could be an air leak of some sort, faulty EGR or BCV or dead MAF My advice would be to get it to VW or a specialist who can diagnose it.
hi supercharged thanks for the quick response it says manifold absolute pressure(MAP) sensor/barometric pressure (BARO) sensor - range/performance problem its not a MAF fault as ive tried a new one(gen bosch item)
i had a 130pd that went odd due to a boost leak. to find it, run your hands along the boost pipes and whever there is a leak there will be black oil lol
have got a similar.. fault ...vw man ..came out and connected..lap top to golf ../ a fault came up code the same. guy said boost pressure reading high have aready replaced mass meter or maff../ problem iv got is the other way ..he had is own buisness called autotecnic of totton near soton hants ../ guy seems to know what hes taking about... name alan ..this is the second time iv had car on vag test first time there was no fault logged on cars comp../ this was done by vw spec../ al the best with yours mate
