Would you think that'd be down to the first or second fault or both?Skipper heartbeat wrote:You need a scan but sounds like turbo actuator.
I'm trying to sort out getting it scanned but doing 6am-8pm every day so hard to get someone to do it.

2 engine faults.
Hey people, first fault is a flashing glow plug light, if I drive sensible (I.e. 5th gear doing 40mph for ~10 miles) then I decide to boot it in a 60mph zone it'll drop power and flash the glow plug with the message "engine fault garage". Now, the second fault can be brought on by the driv...

Re: Hesitation when accelerating
Just a generic picture of Google, but its that light that's on (only when the ignition is on, whether its meant to be there or not I don't know)

Hesitation when accelerating
As the title says really, noticed it earlier today, only seemed to do it in 2nd &/or 3rd at around 2-3k rpm. Its not done it since I've had it (got it Saturday) first time I've noticed it. Am I right in thinking maybe EGR or MAF? Also noticed that the Exhaust light stays on the dash once ignitio...

Re: Official B6 Picture thread.
New to the site, here's my B6, picked it up Saturday, its a 170 sport model.
Needs the wheels refurbed & I want other bits doing to it, but will be keeping it for a few years.

Re: Subtle Mods/upgrades to do?
VCDS is the software used to talk to the VW's modules... you can buy it for around £250 or ask on here for anyone local to you, who has it (people will be happy to help... normally) Fogs as DRL's and 15% turn signals..... is easy enough But you will need newer module to do cornering fogs Where are...

Well if I'm honest budget hasn't been thought about, saving up for a wedding for the next 10 months or so, but even then not looking to go over the top with wheels and lowering it etc. Maybe get a remap at some stage but not too fussed.

B6 Advice before buying.
Hi guys & gals, I have searched endlessly over the past hour or so and heard of some absolute horror stories of the B6 & generally other 2.0 TDI VAG engines. I see that they had a recall for the injectors, I presume that now, once the cars been recalled and problem fixed I should have no iss...
