hi merry xmas ,

hope some one can help, i have an 02 octavia 1.9 tdi (110 bhp) 85000 miles. The car ran smooth and like new until the turbo started cutting out , i had the n75 valve replaced but it made no difference (this was done by a skoda garage ,the car had been pluged in for the diognostics) . I then stumped up the cash for a recon turbo , still shutting down although more so with ac on running really rough and noisy replaced MAF still the same . help please !!!:confused:

what codes are you getting on the ECU?

hi thanks for replying but that i dont know ,i will ask the garage on saturday and will get back to you then many thanks , steve ..

hi , it gets worse garage dont have the readout ! so no codes took it to another garage today they said that the turbo is faulty , second one im starting to feel paronoid ! running is getting worse ,garage says vacum pump on turbo isnt moving please help . i have vag-com but cant get it to work !!!!

Where are you based? Perhaps someone on the forum can run diags on the car for you and get the full codes. I have a full vagcom kit if you are near Dudley or Coventry.
