Hi All,
Hoping someone can help...
Apologies if this has been posted before, tried a search here and google but didn't return much...
Car is a mk7 (63 plate) golf gtd.
So last week, an amber engine light pops up on dash within about 2miles from setting off. No unusual engine sounds, or anything like that. I did notice the car felt slightly unresponsive at higher revs assuming that it went in to limp mode?
Got to where I was going, and called breakdown services. Guy came and plugged two machines in, not too sure which ones they were and both times he struggled to read any faults, however, one came up with the code
P190E - manufacturer specific.
Fortunately? He was a VAG enthusiast and plugged in to VCDS and came up with the following info:
1 fault found
18825 - coolant pump for intercooler
P190E 00 [175] - supply voltage
MIL On - confirmed - tested since memory clear
Freeze frame
Fault status 00000001
Fault priority 2
Fault frequency 1...
The guy cleared the code, went on a test drive and all was fine.
Later that day got about 2 miles into coming home and the engine light pops on again 😩
This time went to town on google trying to see what the fault code meant, ended up translating a polish skoda forum post to no avail. I then decided to book it in with a VAG specialist.
Went to the specialist today, plugged it in to his snap on reader and again struggled to bring up any codes, finally managed to get the p190E. The guys then plugged in the same machine VW would use (so I was told, big thing) and came up with the following:
01 - motoring engine control
1 fault / notes detected
----- P000000
Error symptom EGRCIgMonHeatFlowNeg
Looking at the pic I took of the screen it says: (top right hand corner)
Volkswagen
5k - Golf - 2009 >
2013 (D)
Sedan
CFFA 2.0l TDI-CR / 100kW
The code was reset and all was okay again....until about 4miles later the engine light comes on again.
I have booked in for further diagnostics at the specialist but would like to know if anyone has come across this issue before? I want to get an indication of costs as the guy mentioned a possible egr valve? Which said I was looking at £650! 😩
The only other thing I found online, was something to do with corroded wiring or something as simple as checking the fuse (I haven't done either yet as not too sure where to start).
Other than the light on, the car drives fine.
Sorry for the long first post, if anyone could shed any light it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
