Check your battery connections - the first fault code sounds suspiciously similar to my experiences the other day: Clicky

[Bodge]

17705 causes 17544 if left for a long time. So they are related. Other two seem independent.

There's loads of info on the 17705 code on here, took me a while to fix mine. Turned out I needed a TB clean and reset, and a new pressure hose.

Time for the scrap yard!

Thanks people

I figure that a hose is leaking somewhere so I'll start digging around

Can anyone shed some light on the Evap emission one ????

[cheezemonkhai]

Condolences, why were your balls related to your limp moment?

Seriously though, as said check the battery charge and also check the condition of the earth points and the fuse box on top of the battery.

Power problems can cause the sensors to give erratic output as the input isn't as expected.

[David 8]

It was either my balls or borrax ........

I think the battery fault maybe caused by leaving my phone charger plugged in for weeks at a time.

I'll clear the codes now and see if they come back

[mannyo]

The 17705 will be the cause of the limp mode and is quiet a common problem. As for the others I would clear them and see if they return.

I doubt it... but I guess you never know!

[David 8]

A 17705 only the greatest fault code ever logged. Accept no substitutes......:grumpy:

[RobClubley]

When I got this:

17544 - Fuel Trim: Bank 1 (Add): System too Lean

P1136 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

It was an air leak - my aftermarket TIP had come off the turbo.

I did try earlier but it was throwing a wobbly.

It's got too be a split hose somewhere, the car feels no different in my mind, if anything I would say slightly smoother since the limp mode blip. It has don't it since and I've had quick check with vag-com on block 115 and requested boost and actual are spot on. I've cleared the codes for so i'll check for them again tomorrow at some point.

Thats what she said!

[David 8]

Right I've had a dig around and there appears too be something hissing loudly too the far right of the engine block.(No snake jokes please)

Any pointers as to which hose is the culprit as I can't see 5hit down there, it's ram out tbh.

Jack the car up, undertray off and take a look from the bottom up?

Its because you look like Gary Barlow

I am Gary Barlow........................."could it be magic"........."a million love song later" etc etc.

If I was Gary "sickly bellend" Barlow I'd take it to a dealer tbh:P

[Bodge]

if you remove both plastic engine covers and jam your hand under the inlet manifold, you might be able to poke the offending hose, causing the hissing noise to change.

my perished vac hose came from the bottom cetre of the inlet manifold, no idea of the part number, but it was easy to diagnose by feel.

[David 8]

Right I've had a poke and prod around under manifold and I can't feel or see diddly squat,

The hissing appears to be coming from this area

I did notice a little white plastic valve which I think connects too the fuel pressure regulator........Could this be the problem.

Stu kindly looked at some boost logs and he reckons theres deffo a leak there as requested and actual boost levels are different, although no fault codes have returned.

Also can anyone tell if it's worth removing the bracket which sits in front of the dipstick to check the pipes under there????

[vRSLen]

Just sell it and buy a MKII, you know you want to
