on motorway no pwer at all

[Adam]

Not completely true.. i have some MS509 scanners in stock that also do live data logging/recording and has built in DTC identification

not as flexible as vagcom but you can use them on pretty much any car

Sorry I was referring to the ^^^

You can also get Snap-On scanners that does it all.

You sorted this problem out yet fella? I was suffering with the same issue with my 130.

All fixed now 

It was cured by giving the turbo a good session with Innotec, which I bought for £40 off eBay. More info here
http://www.innotecworld.com/c-1064-turbo-clean-set.aspx Mt turbo vanes where coked up and sticking.

Whilst I was getting this done I asked my mechanic to ensure the movement of VNT lever was free, this is the lever that operates the movement of the vanes in the turbo, the VNT actuator is what the lever is driven by.

This has transformed my car, and not just on the motorways.

*******UPDATE********
alrighty well had pretty sh!t month with family and work so not had time to do allard kit however i had time today on lunch break to do fault reader(thanks again for link) it did the job and at a low price so here goes on the codes (also got the link from other post to find them out but one code is missing and i cant find it),

engine

18075 - valve for pump-jet: cylinder 2(n241) electrical malfunction            is this an auto elec job? and how much?
17965 - boost presure control valve(n75) open cirucit                                elec or machanic?
17552 - cant find what it is
116686 - miss fire on cyclinder 2                                                          must be related  to 18075?

code 17965 can make the car go into limp mode and 16686 explains the kicking as no spark or compression but there are alot of possibilities on the site where the codes are for possible causes, but no idea how or what to fix or get fixed and how much, but also i was advised to put in the better fuel as neighbour had same prob and it doesnt kick as bad or as often now.

so any ideas, i will fit allard kit once get chance but also got abs sensor buggered on back driver side so i need buy one and get it fitted as i hav little time just now.

p.s i also getting alarm sorted this weeked new fob arrived and after my last attemp which kept the whole street up it is going to trix in dunfermline.

next abs and this annoying limp kicking prob.

right tried to fit allard kit but had to giv up as a couple probs well 2 probs. the first is i cant get into undo the bottom allan key nut on th egr as only say 10 mil between that and where the blanking plate goes on the intake? only way i can think is to cut an allan key ver short so only enough to just get in an grip it?

second is  a question really in this picdo i do away with the ball like joint which looks like it operated the butterfly valve inside the egr , i gussing yes as egr will b completly taken off car but again no space and looks like it a torx bit to take off the two screws that hold it on.





plus once had pipe off it soaked with oil internallt see pic of pipe and egr. plus looks like oil comming from othe bottom threaded hole at from of the egr (see pic)





any ideas on how to get into bolt? and what torx i can use(need to be a stubby i think that if you can get them)

[Baylez8v]

boost pressure control valve (n75) mine packed up on my old 115, i thinks pretty much unplug it and plug ure new one in, think it was bout 70quid from the main dealer

Tiz a 2min job for the pros at R-Tech

[vw-8v]

r tech is a wee bit far for me too take the car lol so any idea what i'm looking at for cost of a garage on labour as i would buy part to give to them so they dont mark it up like so many do.

and any idea on getting that erg bolt out? as will b trying it tommorow

update

well that the allard kit on i needed a torx 25 bit and got round biottom bolt by pushing down the intake pipe as took bolts out for where the blanking plate went frirst.

right will giv it a run the night as cleaned out alot of crap from manifold pipe. Only worry now it i cant feel any gasses excaping from block off plate or round allard kit but there a strong smell of exhaust funrs in engine bay(maybe direction of the wind, i hope so) and car now makes a wierd high pitch humming noise when you press accelerator and as revs drop so does the noise

is it a thing to worry about?

anyway will giv a run later tonight and take torch to it once dark see any gasses getting out.


oh and any idea on cost of a n75? and what is it? plus is that innotec worth it? or does the turbo need striped for this vane thing to b cleared.

cheers
