Thanks...took blanking plate off.....if I disconnect MAF, the engine is more responsive and generally car drives better. S%@t fuel consumption either way though :tocktock:

Ok my EGR is still blocked off with a plate...but now I have disconnected my MAF...now the power is ALL back ALL the time...its never been this responsive ever....it pulls stong from approx 1400rpm all the way through the rev range. This has me baffled now. Is it theturbo vanes...EGR or MAF ?

Ok, going to get the turbo checked, if spindle has no play, then I will get it stripped and cleaned. but why is there no power above approx 2000rpm. With the car normal (EGR NORMAL - unblocked) there is decent power above 2000rpm.

Evening All, I've had fuel consumption and power problems (which I never knew I had, until a friend drove my car) ever since I've had the car (over 15 months)...so in trying to find out what is wrong, I blocked the EGR valve today with a metal plate...now there is no power whatsoever for 99% of...

im getting 22/24mpg...likewise if you find one let me know

Could you tell how you converted the PD170 turbo electronic actuator to a full vacuum system as on the original turbo ? thanks

22mpg....Audi A4 2.0 tdi 140bhp

OK, I have been driving for a week now...the consumption is 22.1mpg or there abouts!! Can anyone guide me as to what I need to check....here a screen print of the VCDS settings.

Get the wiring diagram fro your car and re create it...I dont know if you can buy it...you could try the dealers or TPS.

You're going to need the J136 Memory seat controller...I think it goes under the drivers seat....and the door memory controls will connect to the Driver door control unit. Alot of wiring ...but very do able.

if its just track rod arms, iro of £150 oem supply and fit

I got the timing belt redone, this was the procedure the technician used; locked the cams and crank with the relevant tools, loosened the 3 x 13mm bolts on each cam to allow the cam pulleys to move to remove the slack from the belt. Before refitting the new belt, turned both cam sprockets...
