I ran VAG-COM on my 2004 Jetta TDI and got 2 faults. 18996 and 16705. The first one as I understand is 'Turbocharger (TC) Vane Position Sensor (G500)'. now the 2 possible solutions as I found on wiki are:
Check Turbocharger (TC) Vane Position Sensor (G500)
Check Wiring from/to Turbocharger (TC) Vane Position Sensor (G500)
Can anyone shed some light on the procedure for this? Or possibly direct me to somewhere online I can research it some more? As well I checked all the hoses from my N75 and they look fine, but I haven't tested the actual sensor itself.
The second code is 'Engine Speed Sensor (G28): Implausible Signal'. Now if my speed sensor wasn't working I don't think the car would start. I've heard that this code could be caused by out of date ECU software. My car has 6327. I called the dealership and they told me that for $50 they would update the software and it should clear that code. Before I go that route is it something I could do myself? Thanks folks.
