I basically got a 2002 Beetle TDI disassembled in a box.I got it all put back together and running except for one problem.If i hook the EGR vacuum hose up the engine will shut down.If I do get it to run it won't run over 10mph belching black smoke.If i disconnect it the car will run but has little power I guess limp mode.I have checked for vacuum leaks and found none.My vacuum gauge says I'm pulling 27lbs.I swapped out the egr control valve and same results.I checked the turbo everything looks good rod moving up and down.
Disconnected MAF no change.Swapped MAF no change.Intake manifold spotless.I have searched this site and found one other problem like mine but the post was unanswered.Does it sound like I have a bad EGR valve or am I missing something.The car sat over 5 years without a battery in it could it be the the ECU needs an adjustment I do have a vag-com.
Also showing these codes which I suspect partly because I don't have the EGR hooked up.#19561 ,16618,16786 Thanks
