Hi I've had this car for 5 years now its an 04 132,000 miles, I put a posting in the other day. guys to cut very long story short I appear to have an EGR valve issue, AA man removed and cleaned the valve up now car doesn't smoke great. A clogged up DPF,a Leaking pipe for the intercooler and the bracket off my inlet mainfold.

I can do the work myslef as I've had many years working on my M/C anyway I have been told by V dealer total cost £2,300.00 to virtualy replace everything thats flagged up as faulty by tech 2.

My question is would my inlet manifold be entitled to a replacement by the manufacture were these replaced under a recall? won't mind saving myslef the £920.00 I've been quoted by the dealer.I appricate milage and time might be against me. Also I can't seem to work out what the whirling sound I can hear, sounds like those party blowouts or when you blow over the top of a bottle, I have driven the car back from where it broke down but was only able to drive about 40 to 50 mph max no power. So I better go to see the bank manager.

No3 injector, symptoms are juddering and a slight misfire in extreme cases un driveable with eml on sometimes, remedy replace no3 injector wiring

Just to add that eventually all the injector plugs eventually need rewiring - it's just that the third goes first for some reason. Also that the same type of connector is used throughout the engine and can give similar probelms. Take them off, squirt contact cleaner on them and push back on.

My timming belt broke after 3 years or 29 thousand miles. It ripped the top pully off the cam shaft, bent 4 valves, and also bent the water pump along with a pully. Whats the chances of this engine working again(the engine is an 8v 120hp 2006 tdi)

hi could you tell me if the No.3 injector plug is also a common issue on the 1.9 tdi 120 BHp, i checkked out the how to link and it looks very different to the set up on the 120 BHp, i think it is showing a twin cam 150 BHp dont want to hack and slash it and find out should have left it alone.

Can any one help, i am having all the usual problems with my engine and cant clear it.

the issue is after start i get either of the following lights the car with the spanner or the anvil.

the car will go into limp home mode after about 2 mins, this happens if the car is being driven or the car is in idle, the car will then not rev over 3000 rpm.

i have changed all vac pipes, sorted the Throttle body housing (resoldered connections) cleaned boost sensor, checked and replaced the large hose going to the throttle housing, removed the small filter in the turbo vac housing ( the one at the bonnet shut ) i had blanked the EGR then removed, was told i had a throttle position sensor problem by the guy from Chiptuners so put another on i got from ebay ( but do not know for it that was ok or not, bought a cheap code reader only to find the poxy thing does not want to connect with my car, even though it meet all the requirements.

can any one please help

I believe i'm having problems with the EGR. Ive been through the pictures for cleaning it up on this thread. The first pic says locate the valve, easy enough lol. where is the valve located, i'm no pro but i'll give this a go as all the posts say it's easy.

Thanks in advance
