Großes Problem, Notlauf | Posts 16+

I'm going to try it out this weekend (or have someone else do it), as I'm not exactly a car expert, so I'll let a friend of mine handle it. But even without the device, the problem would likely occur, just much later, so it can't really be *just* the device that's causing it.

Best regards,

Okay, so my acquaintance says he'd rather not mess with the VTG (variable turbine geometry) vane. He says that would completely void the warranty/goodwill (which I'm still hoping for, just in case we can't fix it ourselves). I spoke with a motors specialist from Salzgitter (I'm an employee at the factory), and he suggested it might be the turbocharger.

Best regards,

if the VTG adjustment is stuck, then
Or perhaps a golden hamster has wandered onto the running wheel and is running...and running...

Greetings, Rainer.

We've already made that common practice.

Hello there,

Okay, I know your story very well! My Golf, after just one year, started having the same problems because of a chip... Nobody could find anything wrong... Unfortunately, the tips in this forum didn't help me either... Except for a strongly worded email to VW! They granted me a 100% warranty for the turbocharger! Unfortunately, I won't get the car back until next Monday, but I hope everything will be okay this time!

PS: TIP -> KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE CHIP .

My experience with some PD engines has shown that they don't handle tuning as well as the good old 90/110 horsepower models!

Best regards,
Karsten.

I only have the problem (maybe that's why it's not happening anymore), that at the moment it's gone without the box, and it no longer goes into emergency mode. I deliberately provoked it (driving at full throttle for several kilometers on the highway). Actually, that's a good thing, but the negative aspect is that I can't reinstall the box, because then it will still be there. And I can't go to Audi either, because it doesn't occur anymore in the standard state .

Best regards,

I don't want to sound too negative, but since you also had this problem with the standard trim, I think it's only a matter of time before the error reappears .
I was also able to temporarily alleviate my VTG problem by driving at full throttle for extended periods, but unfortunately, it always brought me back down to earth after a few days .
I'm still rooting for you and hoping you'll be spared from this.
