hello all,
so I picked up a couple 98 jetta's. one had a check engine light when I got it, I have a vagcom, reading the codes, it was a glow plug code, I replaced glow plugs and harness, code is gone, but a new code appeared after maybe 10 miles of driving. P0605, which is a ROM error in the ecm. when driving, on accel from dead stop, its sluggish in first gear up until about 1500rpm, then has plenty of power and accels fine through rest of gears. this is my first ahu tdi, so I am no expert on them. I also discovered a connector on the passenger side with the wires broken from the connector and touching each other, ??possibly intake manifold temp sensor??, could the wires touching have shorted something in the ecm? what should my next move be to figure out my issue?
