Hi I'm relatively new to working on PD BHW engines so maybe you smart people can put me on the right course of action.
I converted my 2005 TDI Passat Wagon to a standard 5 speed a while back and in the process got a Mallone 1.5 tune done on it .It went really well for the last 30 K. The only drawback was excessive smoke on start up after the tune.
But just lately i've been getting a code P0299 and its been feeling like its low on power even when I don't have a check engine light accompanied by "Emission Workshop" on the dash. I realize when I do its gone into limp mode and is slow.
I have checked the obvious, intake leaks etc
My question is how do I check the N75 valve and how does one check the turbo output for possessively checking the boost pressure.
Second to that should I be pulling the intake and checking it / cleaning it,I have 230 K Km s on it, maybe blocked.
And if the cat was blocked would i get a code even after the re programming by Mallone.
Any of your thoughts and constructive opinions will be appreciated prior to diving in on this engine.
Thanks
Noel
