Hi.
A friend of mine is thinking about buying a (used) VW passat 2002 1.9TDi 4motion 130HK PD engine (don’t know the engine code, but maybe ATM or something, it’s at least the PD 130HK 310NM engine).
But I scanned the car, and got some “abnormal” (I think) readings from the “idle speed smooth running control”. Even if the numbers are within the limits, I have never seen them this high on any other PD engine I have “scanned”. I have a Audi with a 1.9TDi 115HK (ATJ engine code), and the numbers are very close to 0.
Have a look at this screenshot: http://lundarvollen.com/slett/dyser.jpg
The screenshot is with normal temperature reading on the engine.
Could this numbers be due to a poorly installed timing belt (which has been replaced 3 weeks ago according to the owner of the car), or maybe a partially clogged catalyst when the car has been used for shorter trips in the past ? Any other reasons for this numbers to be “a bit high, even if its within limits” ? Something to worry about, or just buy the car without further investigation ?
