I have a 2002 Jetta TDI wagon that I put a new timing belt kit in back in October 2018. The timing is running around 57 and the car runs good when the check engine light is off. When the light comes on I get that rattling nailing sound out of the engine and have no power. the code that usually comes up is 0245 and sometimes 0246. Sometimes I get both. I just put a new N75 valve on shortly after the timing belt and the code still pops up.
Any ideas where to look. The car has 182,000 miles on it.

Are you sure you hooked up the vac lines to the n75 correctly and didn't mix them up? How old are the rest of the vac lines on the car? If your able to record a short video of the rattling / nailing noise that might also be helpful.

The way the codes printed out are "16629 - Solenoid Valve (A) for Boost Pressure Control (N75): Short to Ground P0245 - 35 -10- - - Intermittent. Also 16630 - Solenoid Valve (A) for Boost Pressure Control (N75): Short to Plus P0246 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent. This was done with my laptop with Vag-Com Windows based VAG/VAS Emulator Version 409.1-US

Could it be a bad harness? With a new valve, and shorts to both hot and ground, plus actual evidence thst something is wrong (i.e., the car doesn't work) - have a look to see if the wires are worn and shorting out.

For ease of searching it often helps to include the "P"... so your two codes are P0245 and P0246.
