    engine limp mode/turbo. 2.0 tdi sports back 140

    Just a quick one, but potentially the actuator at fault if the turbo has been replaced. Firstly the vains start to seize and this damages the actuator. Had this the other week on a passat. Thanks Ryan.

As long as the spines aren't damaged it should go back together. You will get this part non genuine. Should be around £60 mark...

    A3 Tdi 170PD BNM Fault code 012600

    Hi all, Don't suppose anyone can shed any light on this on. Glow plug light started to flash and flagged 012600 Intake manifold runner control deviation ( P3138 ). I assumed at first it was the control solenoid. As it said short to ground, and as it was a fairly cheap part i replaced it. All has...
