LurkerMike and I will be diagnosing my 2000 NB with the help of a vag-com, which LurkerMike is bringing over to my place. We both are new at doing the decode thing and would love to have the help of everyone and anyone who has worked with a vag com. We will be posting the codes and asking for help from ya'll.
My NB has no power and is hard to start. I have R&I the intake and cleaned it, cleaned the egr, changed the vacuum lines, cleaned the IC, checked all electricial connections, replaced the fuel filter, primed the IP, replaced the battery (it just went bad, nothing to do with this problem), the turbo seems to be working, when you take the hose off the egr there is lots of push, the actuator on the turbo is moving about 3/4 of an inch, replaced the MAF as it was throwing that code with an OBD.
The problem started gradually with two or three limp modes, than just driving down the interstate it went into limp mode and has not came out. Yes there is lots of white smoke on start up. Now no power over 2200 rpms.
I don't baby this beauty, always about 80 in 4th while getting onto the interstate. It is meant to be driven hard.
This will be fun and interesting for all of us who have not worked with a vag-com before, we will be giving step by step (play by play, blow by blow) results as we go through this process.
Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat station, tomorrow night at the witching hour of midnight. Hope to get lots of ya'll looking and making suggestions. We will look at them all and answer as we can.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Midnight July 17th EDT.
