2.0 TDI Engine Failure - BMP

Hello.
A friend's Passat 3C is experiencing the following problem:
It starts without any problems, takes very little gas, and then the engine speed slowly decreases until it stalls.

Okay, I just disconnected the fuel pump in the tank – the same symptoms are occurring. How can I test it? Where can I find the fuses?
The tandem pump is a bit damp; could it be defective?

Check the parking sensor; it might be stuck.
Wet tandem pump: Usually, the cover screws are not tightened enough, or the gasket needs to be replaced. (There was a recall about this, but I don't know the exact details.)
A clogged DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or catalytic converter can cause the same issues.

Check the parking restrictor, it might be stuck.

I would rule that out, because that is a controlled throttle valve on the BMP.
(not that old, dumb pneumatic "lid closed" flap).

Video of the throttle valve in action, see here:
Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate.

Sure, no problem!

For now, I've only removed the air hose so I can observe the valve when starting the engine - it always stays open, so I'm ruling that out as the problem.

Okay, I'm going to remove the AGR (Abgasrückführung - Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and then try starting it.

Okay, I removed the throttle body so I could have a clear view of the EGR valve. Then, I covered the opening in the EGR valve with my hand to block the exhaust flow.

--->Smooth idle, readily accepts throttle input.

Can anything be done to repair the AGR valve, or should it be replaced directly?

Thank you for your help.

PS: The valve operates electromechanically, right?

Does the valve function electromechanically, or?

Um, look at it .

Hose -> not electric
Cable -> electrical.

Progress report:

The AGR valve was removed, cleaned, and inspected. An electric geared motor drives a crankshaft, which controls the valve lift.
(Works when connected to the power supply.)

The position is also recorded (3 pins for the position sensor, likely inductive, as the resistance values do not change).

EDIT: Reinstalled it, but it didn't help. Is the EGR valve specifically protected?

Is there fuel in the tank...?

Otherwise, perhaps you could read the error memory and post the log here.

Hello,

Why not simply log the air mass and fuel injection amount for a short period?

Best regards, Rainer.

Normally, that's the first thing I do. So far, my self-built interface (for a Golf 3) has been sufficient.

That's why I'm currently in contact with Rainer, because VCDS is now really necessary and it's on its way!

Okay, I finally got my VCDS license .

I've now driven about 100km with the AGR (exhaust gas recirculation) deactivated (electrically locked and cables disconnected) without any problems, and then the engine went into limp mode.

Reconnected the AGR valve at home, started the engine (which turned off after a few seconds), and read the error codes:

Hello,

You should reactivate the AGR.

Regarding the particulate filter: Please consider this topic and post a relevant log entry.
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.

Let's also check the temperature readings from the sensors on the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter).

Best regards, Rainer.

I immediately reconnected the AGR valve, but the engine dies after about 5 seconds or less, which prevents me from logging any data.
Attached are the other measurement readings (engine off, but still some residual heat).

The DPF light only came on while driving.

PS: The actuator test for the AGR system goes up to a maximum duty cycle of 30%, is that acceptable?

According to measurement block 68, the DPF is completely clogged, and there may also be another blockage in the exhaust system.

Please check if the engine is running normally when you slightly loosen the exhaust pipe from the turbocharger.

Best regards, Rainer.

It's very difficult for me to access the DPF.

Now I've removed the AGR valve and performed an actuator diagnosis - and lo and behold, only a small portion of the travel is being used.

Therefore, I strongly suspect the AGR!

I would be happy to upload a video if needed.

Hello,

It's possible that the AGR (Abgasrückführungssystem - exhaust gas recirculation system) isn't working correctly either, but that alone won't help you.
Because of the ash mass in the DPF:

If the maximum value of 60 g is reached or exceeded, regeneration is no longer permitted, and the particulate filter must be replaced.
