Well a few weeks Back i went to a mates who has Vag com, He plugged my car in and all that came up was the N24v Has anyone else have this problem and if so how can i sort it.

Anyway yesterday i had it plugged in again and it was reading the same fault again and 2 other codes appeared, These were 17608

18010

17705 which i believe is the N24.

Help most appreciated

17608/P1200/004608 - Ross-Tech Wiki

Quite common - Do a search here.

18010/P1602/005634 - Ross-Tech Wiki

This one often comes up if the battery has been disconnected.

17705/P1297/004759 - Ross-Tech Wiki

Another common one pretty well covered.

Very helpful that, Glad theres people like you about or i'd be well stuck as i'm new to skodas and modern cars. The 18010 figures because i had the battery unplugged whilst fitting my stereo gear, I have heard that it messes up with the airflow or something which causes delay when putting your foot down on the pedal. have you heard this too?

Both of them relate to the N249V so i'm going to order one of them regardless. Heard they are pretty cheap. Gonna have a good nosey around the hoses, chech throttle body too

I think you mean in Throttle Body Alignment -

May need to call on your mate again :P

I'm no huge expert on the 1.8T but I seem to recall that if the DV has a problem, which yours does have a code, this can cause the N249 to be constantly wedged open and they can burn out, again which yours has a code for.

So you may want to consider a replacment DV as well. If it is still on the original OEM one then they do fail.

Right, would the forge DV be a better investment :confused:

Vrsdale, I'm not much of an expert on these engines, but does your car release its boost when lifting off the throttle? i.e does the diverter valve dump in one go or does it flutter at all? If its the latter you'll find the D.V knacked and so need a new one.

IT lets all the pressure out in one boost, Doesnt flutter at all, I had a good look around the engine and checked all hoses between components, I'd say nearly every hose pushed in a little and i also shoved the pin into the turbo pipe properly as it seemed to be slightly out. My car feels better already. I've just ordered the N249 valve at
