vala

Got a 2006 VRS and just had the turbo blow up so have replaced this with a brand new replacement from TPS. Old turbo came off fine, and new turbo went on. However upon starting the car, allowing it to idle for a few minutes then attempting to take it for a test drive there seems to be issues. Managed to get a video of the engine and hoping someone on here may have some ideas as to whats up. IMG_2535.MOV

Are these the pro kit or sportline kit from eibach?

Unclip the PCD board, spray some electrical cleaner on it and reconnect. Mine stopped working before, did this and all is good again.

Have you replaced the oil filter?

Have you tried changing the oil filter? Or checking the pick up pipe?

If you need a replacement I've got one that I removed when changing to a Bolero. Pay the P&P and it's yours if you want it. It's the non MP3 version though

My octy was recently involved in an accident and I was told as long as the repair is under 66% value of the car it would not be written off

Can anyone help?

Plugged my car {'56 Octavia VRS TFSI) into VCDS the other day as the EML light came on and performance was greatly reduced. I got the following error codes: 3 Faults Found: 008801 - Boost Pressure Control Valve (N249) P2261 - 008 - Mechanical Malfunction - Intermittent Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00101000 Fault Priority: 0 Fault Frequency: 2 Reset counter: 255 Mileage: 183947 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2000.00.00 Time: 10:46:33 Freeze Frame: RPM: 2108 /min Load: 18.0 % Speed: 86.0 km/h Temperature: 85.0°C Temperature: 16.0°C Absolute Pres.: 1000.0 mbar Voltage: 14.224 V 000010 - Camshaft Positioner (Bank 1 Intake) P000A - 008 - Slow Response - Intermittent Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00101000 Fault Priority: 0 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 255 Mileage: 184162 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2000.00.00 Time: 07:50:15 Freeze Frame: RPM: 1992 /min Load: 11.0 % Speed: 81.0 km/h Temperature: 50.0°C Temperature: 9.0°C Absolute Pres.: 990.0 mbar Voltage: 14.224 V 000022 - Bank 1: CMP Sensor (G40) / Engine Speed Sensor (G28) P0016 - 008 - Incorrect Correlation - MIL ON Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 11101000 Fault Priority: 0 Fault Frequency: 4 Reset counter: 255 Mileage: 184169 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2000.00.00 Time: 18:20:04 Freeze Frame: RPM: 1100 /min Load: 19.2 % Speed: 44.0 km/h Temperature: 35.0°C Temperature: 12.0°C Absolute Pres.: 990.0 mbar Voltage: 14.224 V Readiness: 0000 0000 Had a search on here as well as google and saw threads with regards to split in the n249 so bought a replacement one.Changed this yesterday and noticed my old 'C' version wasn't actually split or damaged (from what I could see), however I continued to replace it with the revision 'G' version I got from TPS. Ran VCDS again hoping it would clear P2261 error code, but no joy its still there, I've yet to move onto trying to fix the other 2 codes as I'm a bit confused about them. When I google or use RossTech's to check up on the error codes it all leads to timing issues with the cam. Now back in December last year I replaced the camshaft/cam follower/timing chain/tensioner as I had a 'A' revision camshaft that had a heavily worn lobe which wore through the existing cam follower. This was replaced with the latest revision '2 piece' camshaft and as I had access and needed to remove the other components I replaced these as well. Off the top of my head I would estimate I'v covered at least 5-6k since this work was completed and the car has been as good as gold. My car starts,sounds and drives as per normal albeit the severly reduced power. This is what leads me to believe this error code is not due to the timing chain or tensioner as surely I would have some obvious noises from that area,or even the car would not start/would run rough. Could anyone lend any suggestions as to what may be the cause? Thanks all

I service my VRS myself and just get all the parts from TPS. Off the top of my head for all the filters and oil it's about £60-70 I last paid. Just over £100 when I replaced the spark plugs before.

The sensor is on the right hand side of the engine. Google it. You can't actually see it without removing loads of items but it is possible to feel and remove. I changed mine earlier this year. Think the sensor was less then £30 from TPS.

I've got a couple. Both definitely need a refurb though.

Pretty certain I didn't have to get any special tools to do the job.

That's the guide I followed when changing mine.

I got the cam direct through a member on the audisport forum who is the parts manager at Audi. Pretty sure he's a member of here as well. And yes, changed it over myself.
