In my Passat 35i 1Z, there's a small box in the engine compartment at the front that clicks (and will soon rattle) . I unfortunately don't remember the name }, but it's definitely related to the turbocharger pressure.
Is this normal, or should it be replaced? The car seems to be driving normally. What are the consequences if this part is defective?
It's normal for the valve to click or tick. If you hear rattling, I would check to make sure the valve is still securely fastened.
If that doesn't help, I would replace the valve.
Thank you for the answers.
Let's see how it develops...
I just noticed it when I recently had the hood open with the engine running, and our company's TDI vehicles don't make that noise.
Es klickt ja nicht ab& zu mal sondern die ganze Zeit... Let's see.
I had the same clicking sound. Michael II also helped me out before.
'In my car, the engine would intermittently go into limp mode (3000 RPM and a maximum speed of 130 km/h). A vacuum hose was kinked, and there were two error codes stored in the system.'
Boost pressure differential.
and, most recently:
Boost pressure valve N75: Open circuit/Short circuit to ground.
The valve will be replaced tomorrow, and I hope that will solve the problem!
