Finally found an Mk3 Jetta TDI - in denver - got it this morning.
It smokes white smoke pretty good out tail pipe -
finally just pulled codes and p1252 and p0380- gonna go out and wiggle wires around - would p1252 cause smoke or do i have another issue.
Previous owner thought it needed a NEW turbo - but its boosting' fine it will kinda SHUT off and on - at first i was thinking it might be the ECU vacuum line code - never dealt with p1252 before.
Car only has 158k - its due for timing belt / water pump - might to EGR delete at same time and my power steering is noisey - hope it just the reservior is cracked or something -
I guess welcome me back to TDI land....
I will upload pic here soon - Porcelian Blue.
