Turbo on full boost and EGR value open full???
« on: 20 August 2012, 16:18 »
Hello,

I am having an on-going issue with my 2002 GTi TDI 150. It started running really lumpy on ideal and had a lot of turbo lag. After messing around I found that the vacuum pipe to the EGR value is constantly applying a vacuum. I disconnected the pipe and now it ideals fine, but the turbo still feels like it is on full boost all the time. It feels like there is no power and then suddenly it all come in at once.

As any one got any ideas what the problem could be?

Many thanks
Mike

Sticky VNT/actuator.

Have a look in there.

It could be the vanes on the turbos struggling to open at low boost and then bam all open at once causing overboost.  :undecided:
