Mk4 Golf TDI issues

[hamps]

Hi guys, I have just bought a mk4 TDI Auto se the badge is all chrome, is this the 90bhp one? It is a 2001 Y palte

Car is nice, has a very good history but felt sluggish, I thought it needed a service, so I done a full service inc  flush out.

Then I removed the egr and cleaned it including the inlet, the car had a new turbo in 2009.

I scanned it and no fault codes present, took it up the road and it never really felt any better    hills are the worst!

I looked again and found a few of the small pipes on the bulkhead were no good and one had came off its T piece so I thought I had found the problem, but if i put the pipe back on the car either cuts out or wont rev? 

Please help! I know being an auto it wont win any races as such but surely I should feel a bit of power?

My 1990 1800 diesel mk4 escort van is quicker

Welcome along

First off the rear badge means absolutely nothing

Do you know what engine code your car is - it is on a little sticker by the spare wheel in the boot

The lack of power could be down to a few things, have you had it fault scanned?

Hi Neil, yes I have scanned it and it came up "NO CODES"

I will get the engine code in a minute

The Engine code is ALH 




This is the pipe I CANT connect!




I have ordered an Allard egr delete, will this help? also would like to do the pipe simplify

[old_n07]

You could do the simplification, it won't hurt.

Where does the blue silicone pipe run to?

The valve on the inlet fannimold

I had a bit of a sort out today, on my code reader and the snap-on ETHOS it came up no fault codes via basic obd scan, BUT if i went into manual vehicle selection with correct chassis code and engine code I got this




So after a bit of a look I noticed the MAF was a pattern cheap jobbie

So I got on the phone to vw and ordered one, within an hour I had it fitted, I re scanned it and "no codes present" 

The other two codes stayed away, I took it up the road…….. well it is a different car, i could hear the turbo for the first time, and it goes really well now 

But I still can't connect that damn pipe without it cutting out?? hmmmmm Any ideas?

Thank you
