Common TDI Issues (PLEASE MAKE STICKY)
catlin_cava:
Ok so here is some common issues with MK4 TDIs that your going to run into, and How to fix the issues. Ill start with motor stuff, Having a VAG COM is the best for doing most of this stuff.
My TDI is slow and feels like its got no power, But it is Boosting:
-Your Intake is most likely clogged, anything with over 250K (kms) will have some carbon build up and greatly reduce power. Pull the intake off and clean it with a torch and an Air Compressor and your golden with it.
My TDI Keeps going into limp mode when hard accelating, and I'm getting a CEL or a Code 17958.
-It could be 2 issues. First Try switching your N75 Valve with your EGR Valve, if your N75 is going bad and you switch those it will fix the issue.
or take the vacuum line coming from your Actulator and put a vaccum gun to it and see if it holds, if it doesn't hold your actulator is done.
My TDI has no power on take off and feels like its not boosting then it boost out of nowhere
-your Actulator is done, replace it.
My TDI makes a shuttering noise at an Idle(and possibly changes when the clutch is pressed and depressed)
-your DMF is acting up, swap it out with a SMF and a VR6 Clutch Disk
My TDI is hard to start when cold,
-take a Vag Com and check your IQ on your pump, if the Value is too high not enough fuel is going in, Gives you a hard start but good fuel efficiency. Use the Hammer mod to fix it, Ideal Value should be 3.5 to 5.
My Turbo doesnt feel like its boosting or my TDI goes into Limp Mode, Ive changed the N75 and my Actulator is good.
- I hate to say it but your Turbo may be pooched, you can clean the Vanes inside and it might fix the issue. I suggested getting a shop to clean the vanes can be a headache.
I hope this helps out most of you.

Yup it can, but i listed if the sound possibly changes it's your DMF, a shuttering DMF isn't hard to miss
