If anybody can identify the part that was stuck to the Magnetic Drain plug when I changed the oil in my 2006 TDI on June 7th, I sure would appreciate your input. It looks like a washer that came loose and was Broken into 5 pieces before it got to the oil pan. It is beside a wooden ruler in the pictures for reference it is 1" from Top to Bottom.
It may be a coincidence (But I doubt it is). On June 14th to a Dr's appt and the car was Running Great. When I started to drive back home the car ran fine until I got on the interstate, and that's when the Trouble started. As I accelerated it felt like the Actuator had quit working on the Turbo Charger. Little to No Boost at all, and the farther I traveled the Slower the car would go, and I was maybe 11 miles from home at the most. When I was less than 1 mile away from the House my Car only got up to 28 MPH going up an incline from a stop in a 1 mile stretch. Luckily I made it Home and I turned the car off then realized I should check for fault codes. When I started the car, it acted like the Battery was almost dead and barely turned over and started.
It showed P0234 Turbo Charger= Overboost Condition, and the same code P0234 Engine= Boost Pressure Regulation, Limit Exceeded, (Overboost Condition).
I noticed there was what looked like signs of fresh oil around the Oil Cap, so while it was Running I removed it and oil and air seemed to be Forced out, like it was choked off and it couldn't exhaust air from the Engine.
I found that the Corrugated Hose from the Filter was Not connected to the right side of the Manifold? I don't know if it could have been pushed off by pressure, or was removed and not put back at some point? It's Got a Pretty strong clamp that Holds it in place, but I don't know what to think at this point?
I connected the Hose and Deleted the fault codes and drove about 2 miles but didn't want to try the Turbo Charger.
Could this be from the Head and a Bad Cam Shaft Replacement or the Oil Pump and Chain Tensioner? I'm not going to start the car until I have a good idea of where it came from & what could be Damaged.
Any ideas would be Greatly appreciated..
Thanks for your Help
I can't find a way to attach a picture? I'll try it again in a couple of hours.
