Hi IanSkill

 

I changed my cam belt on Saturday, as part of the job I routinely remove a lot of bits and clean and check them. When i had finished the job I took the car for a test drive and everything was fine. Set of for Bristol at 5 in the morning and firstly I noticed that fuel consumption was slightly higher, ok its probably me driving. Whilst on the M6 driving at around 75-80 the car coughed and went into limp mode, when I increased the power at almost exactly the same point a rasping / sucking type noise could be heard from the drivers side. When daylight came the rasping noise was accompanied by black smoke from the exhaust.

 

Because of the amount of work I had done I carried my full tool kit + my vag-com. Last night run vag-com and 2 codes were present.

 

1. 17552 MAF short or open circuit.

2. 17964 Charge Pressure Control: Negative Deviation-intermittent"
