Anyone with any experience with DTC P1447 on a '96 Passat TDI with 62600 miles?
When the dealer scanned the computer, they claimed there were "too many codes to
know what is really going on, but you need the intake (between the MAF and turbo)
cleaned ($800), a temp sensor in the CAT replace ($700 plus labor), etc, etc."

TDI
2001 Golf GLS TDI Reflex silver, rough road suspension and steel skid plate, 2004 Passat Variant, Candy White, rough road suspension and geared balanced shaft module, and much, much more. 2016 LR RR HSE TD6, 2019 Jaguar I-PACE
That code does translate to a VW 17855 'catalyst temp. circ open/short to B+'.

If too many codes, how come he gave you just one? If one is too many to handle, run from this dealer.
