Hi

I’ve been having an intermittent power loss problem on my 2012 3.0tdi 245cv, where you can notice a slight power drop and more engine clatter noise in the injectors I guess.

Anyway I unplugged the Maf and the engine has returned to full power, at first I would suspect the Maf but it’s relatively new and on VCDS it’s keeping healthy numbers between actual and specified.

what I do notice though is when unplugged I can hear like an air plunger noise which I guess is the EGR?. looking at VCDS the EGR is 100% shut all the time.

the weird thing is that I had the EGR deleted by software a while back and the car run dreadful so I reversed the delete. Do you think my issue is the EGR not closing properly and when it was deleted it was stuck open ?.

many help would be great thanks
 
take the hoses of the EGR valve and see what condition it is in..
