Info:
2006 Jetta BRM, 273k miles, DSG
Initially the owner thought it was the MAP sensor and installed a new one. When the Code was deleted, it come back. He brought it to me. Using VCDS, I deleted the Code and it come back. The owner also stated he thought the problem might be the Connector. So, I ordered a Connector with pigtail. This afternoon, rather than install the Connector/pigtail, I played around with the wires on the OE connector. The results were good, in that I was able to delete the MAF Code.
So, I took it for a drive, wow, clouds of black smoke and virtually no power. But, no CEL ... scanned several times beside the highway, restarted the engine several time, etc., still no CEL (no codes). Also, in Group 18 there were all 00s for each injector meaning no faults.
Anyway, I tried to monitor various things on my LapTop using VCDS. I noticed Boost was considerably below Specified .... as much as 500 mBar, depending on the circumstances (grade).
There is not a boost leak...... if so, it must be in numerous places to not be making a noticeable noise.
So, is this a bad Actuator, bad N75 (does a BRM have an N75?), vacuum hose leak, or sticky Vanes?
As I understand from the owner, the issue come on sudden.
Thoughts?
