To be honest with you mate Im only learning how to use vcds properly
I assumed it was because I was running without the egr valve and creating more pressure
Lesson learned
Thanks for the help
It will hopefully help someone in the future anyway

Update!!!
Fixed
Map sensor was stuck on 2983.5 constantly
Was telling the Ecu the car was Over boosting when it wasn't
So the fix was the (((((MAP SENSOR))))))
Replaced with 10 euro scrapyard part and car working perfect again
Hope this helps someone out

Cheers

there is just a few figures from the car idling today
Does anything look out of sorts

Just a quick one ray Im not great at reading the graphs on VAG But what I do notice is the green line on the measuring block 11 chart is going miles above the rest When im boosting its shooting off the scale. Looks like its nearly hitting 3 Bar. Shouldn't be hitting that though with only a 3 bar sen...

Will do
Cheers

I understand what you mean Well done the sealent job, no movement now from tanduum pump nipple Car went great for an hour Turned car of Went out again and before it happened again I am hearing a dumping sound It sounds the the n75 is dumping vacuum out the fresh air port, or the actuator is jumping ...

Update!!!! So I noticed something today I disconnected the one way valve connection from the tandem pump connection Plugged the turbo actuator directly to the outlet on the tandem pump/ brake servo line Straight away the actuator pulled up What I did notice however was when I wiggled the tandem pump...

I will try the trick with the actuator to see if theres still more crud in there I was thinking it had been remapped in the past but I never asked the previous owner I taught it should kick into limp mode much faster than 2900 myself I will get onto that 2moro and I definetly will post back my resul...

it hasn't been remapped in my ownership anyway, it did always go really well so maybe it has had a remap, how would I know with VAG? No I haven't touched the actuator atal in terms of the lever. Literally just pumping it to try free the vanes up I will have a look at the spare turbo in the shed and ...

Understand completely what you mean, my car is on 250,000 odd miles now at this stage and I reckon it is the original turbo unit in the car Again like you said I don't want to just throw a new turbo at it and it might not be that atal I don't mind spending the money would just rather knock of as man...

Will try again 2moro
Will let you know how it goes
You read loads of these on the internet and people when they do sort it rarely give a definitive answer to the problem

Got the 2nd mr muscle job done Again car went great for around half an hour and then kicked into limp mode the code is back to p1557 35-00 It was 35-10 earlier The car pulls great when turbo is on At times it feels like it is surging Like the car is kicking in higher in the rev range than normal Cou...

Sound ray I am giving the mr muscle another run now I will try another n75 and leave it unblocked just for the moment until I get the little filter in the post I understand what you mean about the worn vnt ring I have another turbo from a pd avb 100 in the shed, I can see the slip you mean in the vn...

Thanks for the reply mate I am waiting for the filter for the n75 I have another there but the nipple is just blocked of on that one Do you think that is a better bet? I have done a few logs alright but it seems my Maf reads high because I have the egr blocked and deleted what I do notice at times o...

Well I done the mr muscle job I was pulling the actuator arm up with my fingers I have no suction device for it left for about 2 hours Made sure all connections fit well All brand new silicone tubing Car went amazing for around 30 mins of 4000 rpm in 2 3 4th gear There was no real smoke from the exh...

Thanks mate
I got myself a can of mr muscle and will do the job 2moro and see how it goes

Hows things I have an awx engine car Going into limp mode Car has had vac line simplification done Just running the n75 from tandem pump to lower connection and top connection on n75 to turbo actuator Side connection is directed directly to atmosphere, I am waiting on a small filter for it in the po...

Don't want to spend another fortune on car,cars worth more for parts than whole
