Hello,

I posted a log under the "Uploads" section.

Could you please take a look at that?

The hoses seem to be okay. The turbocharger was refurbished by a company, and it appears that the problem might be with the N75 valve or a misadjusted VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry).

Best regards, efistho.

I'm sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.

Please put the VCDS serial number in your profile and not in the thread! I've removed it; it's irrelevant to everyone except the admin. icon_wink.gif

To the log: Check VTG.

Why was the loader refurbished?

Hello,

The car used to have a faulty main control unit.

I've already checked with the workshop again, using the VCDS device.

The owner was looking at the LOG (likely referring to a logbook or similar record) and claims that the VTG (likely referring to a valve or similar mechanism) doesn't have the full range of adjustment and is stuck.

I'll have someone take a look at it again; I can't lift the box right now.

Best regards,

A "Murksbox," right?

The VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) was stuck because a weasel had chewed on a coolant hose, causing coolant to constantly leak onto the VTG. After only a few months, the turbocharger looked like it had 300,000 km on it.

Best regards,
