Help Please

Hello to all

this is my first post on here

i have a 1.9tdi its a v reg 1999, i dont have any power in the engine, i see that there is a few posts on here with the same kind of fault

i have put a new maff sensor on, but the car is still the same?, if you turn the car off then back on it will be ok but if you rev it past about 2800rpm then i get the fault back, just no power,

and can anyone tell me if the vag-com leads on ebay are any good?, if so i may buy one to try and get the faults out of the ecu

i hope that someone out there can help me out

thanks to all

steve

Hi butch, firstly welcome to this forum, we are a friendly bunch here. There have been posts on here about the leads on ebay IIRC most people say they are ok. Personally i have a different reader. It seems to find the right faults and does a decent job you can get it off the net for 43 quid that includes the delivery. ,im at work at the moment so i cant remember the website but if you want to know post a reply and i will look when i get home mate.

the car is going into limp home mode.Did you do the MAF test before you put a new MAF on?? try and do it again, if the car is worse with it disconnected, then the problem isnt the MAF, it could be turbo related, have you checked the hoses for any splits/leaks or even looked to see if a hose has become disconnected?. Keep having a search of the forum useing different keywords.

 

as for vag com, sorry..i cant help as i never used it myself.Failing that you could try a local auto electrician, they are usually a lot cheaper than fords and some independant garages have this equipment now aswell.

Hi mumof4

thanks for the info, i dont think its the maf, and you are right i thinks its in limp home mode, have just got a vag-com lead of ebay so will try and plug that into the car and rip the codes out that way it may point to the fault on the car, i will let you know how i get on

thanks

It could be a problem with your turbo over running (varable turbo on 1.9) try disconnect the battery to see if it reset it.

This does sound like turbo overpressure / VNT Butch and I reckon once you've got the fault codes it'll give you a good idea. If you do a search for VNT this will give you an idea of what and how it operates.

 

Good luck

Hi All

well just to let you all know i found the fault with the car, i had a good look on this site and it was a great help, the fault i found was there was a split on the big vac pipe from the pump to the servo, so i just cut out the split bit of pipe and put a new bit in, one more thing when i had this fault i had a hard brake

thanks to all and keep up the good work
