Loss of power, black smoke

Featured Replies

Hello

I have some troubles with my engine and need desperate help.

Here is he the story about Skoda Octavia 2.0 tdi ea288 DSG 2015

I ve bouhgt import car with full service history (Skoda Italy) which is rare in Serbia to find. Seller told me DPF was gutted in Italy and I was aware of this.

5000 km later problems started with light black smoke on hevy load and after few days a LOT of smoke on extra load (4 people, A/C on and acceleration from 100 to 130 kmh) check engine was activated with 2 codes showed on VCDS later.

P0101

P13D6

P1734 (probably DSG selector microswitch problem)

In next few days car was so much without power that it couldn't get to 80 kmh and on very very hevy smoke and some more error codes. - Insufficient pressure -

NEXT, tuner said software wasn't downloaded and he implemented only software for DPF to ECU.

Three mechanics said turbo-compressor is dead (including tuner). So I did remont (repair with 12 month guarantee). They also cleaned intercooler which was full of sludgy oil ( taking it apart from engine with new gasket), gutted cat and changed oil+filter.

Car was fine. It was pulling ok and without smoke for some days but it started with light smoke on exhaust. First time when I was on highway, problems with MAF and Internal Pressure Sensor came back.

Pipes are checked under smoke pressure machine. Injectors are great.

1. Do I have to check if EGR software is deleted ( with or without blanking ) ?

2. Change Heater with pressure sensor on 3rd cylider ?

3. Something else ?

Please help I can not find any proper advice for this problem in my area

Here is latest VCDS prinscreen codes
