Turvey Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Getting the usual 'turbo cutoff limp home mode' problems that seem to plague these motors. After getting my vag-com set up and resetting codes etc I get the dreaded 17965 code. By using this excellent forum I am working my way through the list of possible causes and may have come across what it might be. The actuator? moves quite freely by hand but doesn't move at all when the engine is started/stopped as suggested on here by someone but I cant find the post that said it now :D So in my eyes this would suggest a vacum problem? By using this logic I started taking of hoses and checking for leaks etc. What a bugger of a job some of those hoses are to trace :D I have come across a possible suspect namely the hose that comes of the round silver thing directly behind the oil filler cap. There seems to be a very slight vacum here and I wondered if this should be a strong vacum and this was causing the problems? Anyway, getting the main question of my topic. Is there a diagram of the vacum system on here somewhere? This would save me describing something as "the hose that comes of the round silver thing directly behind the oil filler cap" :huh: Any other words of wisdom on my problems would be most appreciated.

Turvey Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 Another question for you Vag-com experts out there. I was reading this topic http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...17664&st=60 when I acme across the following The cheapest & easisest thing to do is to try to free up the moving parts of the turbo. As already stated, this can be done with a vag-com. In measuring blocks group 011, click on basic settings & the car will cycle the vanes through the full range of motion every 10 or 20 seconds or so. Can you only do this with the full version of vag-com? And has anyone tried it? Did it work? Sorry for the multiple questions but this problem is really starting to drive me nuts!!! Quote
tdi90 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 Pictures below for you. If you join this site www.vagcat.com you can also check descriptions. As for Vagcom, it must be a fully registered version to use the 'basic settings' mode.ANU_code.bmpCode_AUY.bmp Quote
