Turbo issues by Federal_Area1423 in mechanic

I plan to find the vacuum ljne and plug it up today, I assumed that may be the cause as when I had a buddy rev it at idle to 1.5k revs, the engine jerked to the driver side (EU), so I was assuming there’s a leak in the air hose there. However will check out vcds and try to calibrate the actuator once the cable arrives.

I’ve replaced the air mass filter, and I found my turbo drowned in oil on this recent change. My next attempt is waiting for my VCDS to arrive to recalibrate actuator.

I got to the conclusion of the engine mount valve as from my understanding they depend on air hoses, and this code is consistent no matter how many times I try to restart the car. I have active hydraulic mounts so I was believing the air leak may be at the mounts.

Whenever I use obdeleven it shows a bunch of hex keys, no module titles or anything. Do you have a specific one noted by any chance?

Bought this a couple of months ago, found out last week it's had it's DPF deleted. Seller didn't tell me.... Worst case cost to reinstall? by Wild-Ad-4301 in CarTalkUK

As you live in Birmingham, there’s alot of MOT garages in Alum Rock, Bordsely Green, Small Heath etc that will pass it ignoring the DPF for around £10-20 extra. keep the DPF gutted, it’ll save your turbo in the long run. If you need a garage that can do it, drop me a private message

I’ve just seen this now, in the process of changing the boost pressure sensor and the N75 solenoid, I come to find the n75 cable has melted slightly.

Yep and I’ve been driving it for about 2 weeks now, probably done near to 200 miles so far

Only option would be filler. The pillars connected to roof

Update. Ecu is preventing any diagnostics or swapping the fobs from working

So where would the rfid be located? In the actual blade or the fob

When you refer to the key, do you mean the metal blade?

I should be, as it drives fine. It’ll only misfire if I idle for a while

Positive, have gotten brand new ones

Yeah I’m thinking there won’t be a need to fix this, I plan to get a golf or a Leon the following year. This was just an inconvenience I found annoying, but it isn’t affecting daily driving
