Hello,

Here's a quick read for those who are interested:
I am sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.

Is there any information available yet that, instead of the previously regular "performance killers" called LMM, we are now seeing "coked" (or fouled) PDE?
Or, to put it another way, can they really be restored to their original condition using an ultrasonic bath (excluding, of course, erosive wear)?
Gruß Ulf

Well, I've heard about that too. There was also an article about that problem in the latest (or now the previous) MTZ magazine. This problem is unfortunately well-known among manufacturers, and they are actively searching for effective solutions to prevent these deposits. If I remember correctly, it was only about the piezo injectors. I can look that up again.

To understand this, we first need to know how the coked-up particulate diesel filters (PDEs) were used. The question is why PDEs of the newer type specifically, and is there perhaps a connection with the excessive regeneration cycles of these engines? Problems like these are largely unknown in V6 TDI engines with common rail injection.
I only know that the pressure build-up at low RPM is quite modest compared to VP and CR.

My information includes the PPDs.

Symptoms:
After 30,000 km, acceleration decreases, and the maximum speed is not reached.

Determine:

(or, depending on the context, other options like:
* Identify
* Ascertain
* Establish
* Find out)
VW/Audi then measures the lambda value in the fourth gear at 3500-3800 RPM.
If the reading is greater than 1.4, which indicates too much air, then run a cleaning cycle with Feroclean in an ultrasonic bath for the nozzles.

I have PPDs (presumably referring to particulate diesel filters) and still 1,32 remaining (presumably referring to the remaining capacity or lifespan), but I had that value already at 23,000 km, which is when I first heard about the injectors potentially being clogged.

It mainly occurs in "representative mode," meaning you should always be pushing the limits and going full throttle on the track.

Which oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) is used in my car?

I don't know if the AWX reveals that.

My and related (BMP, BLS) files reveal this information in section 074.3.

If not, how can one calculate that?

Okay, our older TDIs also don't have a lambda sensor. The exact calculation is clear in principle. But where do you get the precise data to have reliable decimal places? I don't think that will work. You only need the engine speed, turbo boost pressure, and fuel injection amount. However, you would then have a static value. Who knows how everything ignites and reacts inside the combustion chamber. That's why the lambda sensor is there.

"Because a calculation to check if the nozzles are clogged would require information, essentially a variable: 'nozzles are clogged,' and without that, you can't proceed. However, since the AWX is similar to the ASZ, I would simply say: 'This doesn't happen with us.'" Perhaps it's worth considering between 160,000 km and 200,000 km whether to have the PD injectors refurbished... that would be the extent of my concerns, as long as the low-pressure fuel pump is working properly.

. . . while the highest (sustained) surface temperatures occur in the combustion chamber.
[Speculation ON] In this process, the diesel fuel that flows along the outer surface of the bore holes, but is not injected into the combustion chamber by the spray nozzle, carbonizes around the nozzle openings. The coke rings that form around the nozzle openings alter the shape of the spray patterns, which leads to poorer atomization and reduced performance. [Speculation OFF]

[Audi explanation on]
The drilling process itself causes the boreholes to have a smaller cross-section.
It explicitly does NOT refer to the external events surrounding the hole.
[Audi off]

Okay, so as if you were putting an AFN 1Z engine in.

OK, I can roughly imagine that.
Since the nozzle hole is not shielded from the combustion chamber, the hot gases can reach the diesel fuel that is still present in the bores, potentially causing it to partially coke.

Comparison: You hold a Bunsen burner underneath a closed faucet (where there is usually a thin film of water), boil away the water, and thus form layers of scale on/inside the faucet opening.

Hi,
and how do products like Tune Up and similar ones work? They also promise good cleaning results for VAG and Opel workshops.

Since when have Polos been equipped with Siemens Piezo injectors?

It exclusively uses piezoelectric components from Siemens (170 Piezoresistive Sensors).
like BMN, BMR, etc.

Standard magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations don't have that problem, at least.
I haven't encountered any yet.

I think it was more likely a problem with a sealing ring, or they just told him complete nonsense.

So are my findings. Does the PPD affect the 125KW? icon_wink.gif

I have PPD.
I have 125 kW.
I VCDS.

Okay, I'm going to get a bottle of "Liqui Moly Diesel... stuff" and do a lambda log before and after using it.

Then we'll know if these "miracle products" actually work.

I can't confirm that. I usually drive around 160-180 km/h on the highway, if possible. That's not exactly full throttle, and yet my injectors are still getting clogged. The improvement in performance and comfort after the cleaning at 60,000 km was *very* noticeable.

I once wrote something about this here:
Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate.

Regards,
Peter.
