Folks, For the last 9 months I’ve had a constant EML on with fault code 005629 - P1495 - N345 Valve circuit open or short to ground. Testing with vcds showed no voltage getting to the N345 valve when actuated. I ignored this for 9 months as it didn’t effect the cars driving however with an mot looming I decided to get it looked at. Vehicle - 2007 Octavia vrs tdi engine - BMN With help of someone with access to the official wiring diagrams I noted the green wire from the N345 plug ran to a plug behind the passenger (RHD) headlight and had continuity, The yellow wire from the valve runs directly to Pin 15 on the 60 pin plug at the eco. It had no continuity, i found the broken wire in the plastic corrugated section which runs from under the EGR valve area to behind the passenger headlight. Wiring was replaced and heat shrinked and viola no more fault code. I post this this as I found many people on various sites with the same fault code and no one mentioned how it was fixed. Hopefully this helps someone else. Cheers fraser
