I need to revisit the topic of "determining the target boost pressure."
Based on Ulf's article, I thought the
driver's preference was crucial:
"Quote from 'TDI: Basic Principles of Technology':"
Quote: |
While driving, the electric throttle position sensor transmits the driver's desired fuel injection amount to the engine control unit (ECU). It first determines, based on the programmed boost pressure map, what boost pressure is required to burn the desired amount of fuel, and then begins to adjust the boost pressure to the corresponding value.

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:
"Ende Zitat" translates to "End quote" in English.
Jan6K, on the other hand, wrote:
Quote: |
The target boost pressure depends on the selected injection quantity (among other factors), NOT on the injection quantity that results from the driver's preference.

That seems contradictory to the article, as I already mentioned.
If it is indeed correct, then the following is from another...
Ulf's article is just as incorrect as the quote from the first article mentioned.
"Mass Air Flow Sensor: An expensive weak point in VAG TDI engines."
Quote: |
... faulty mass airflow sensor ...
Depending on the size of the mass airflow sensor (MAF) measurement error, fuel consumption will also increase: The boost pressure will continue to be regulated to achieve (theoretically) verschandeln combustion of the fuel injection amount requested via the accelerator pedal, while the actual fuel injection amount may be significantly lower due to the defective MAF sensor.
In other words, the boost pressure is being set too high (relative to the actual amount of fuel being injected), which wastes unnecessary energy -> leading to increased fuel consumption.

The latter, therefore, logically cannot be the case.
I'm confused - who can resolve these contradictions?
Greetings, Klaus.
