P0444 - Evap Emission System Purge Control Valve

P0444 - Evap Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Open

Got the flagging up constantly after clearing it off, anybody had it before and fixed it? Can’t find a censor for it on Euro car parts

Cheers

Re: ECU issue

Hero’s Had all sorts going through my head on what the issue could be! Awful for the car to act like that on a flat battery I’m sure cowboy garages have had a couple of paydays from this Cheers fellas jumped the battery and took it for a long drive will see how it gets on before replacing as I had t...

Vents stink!

My vents smell like arse unless i have a/c on for any temperature I've used the aircon cleaner from Halfords previously however this doesn't really get rid of the smell fully it just makes it smell better for a short period. The smell is really bad if its cold coming through the dash vent or front f...

Re: Just had a rebuilt engine

Pretty much new all over, pistons, rings etc.

Luckily I get some staff discount through a family member for the labour so I was paying 25hr labour instead of 75 at Halfords, every cloud!

Re: 1.4 Tsi nightmare

I have had a 10 plate 1.4tsi for over 2.5 years now and I've had the coil packs go twice during its time and this weekend the chain has jumped so is looking like a rebuild also!!! Absolutely love the car but reading about how common these problems are it is ridiculous! I don't think I will get a VW ...

Re: Timing chain

Timing chain slipped at the weekend, drove the car fine to the supermarket Sunday morning, go to drive it home and car sounded really rough so I nursed it home then go to get in the car later in the day and it doesn't start

Fingers crossed it hasn't done more damage inside :no:

Re: Timing chain

Does anybody know of a garage that is able to do this in the Manchester area?

My garage are not able to do it due to the gearbox/programming??

Thanks

Re: Timing chain

Had it out today but they are struggling getting it out, is there a bolt which needs to be removed or something which they are saying they don't have the tool for?

Re: Timing chain

Finally got round to getting the car on the ramp and having a look to locate the sensor.

Looks a pain to get to underneath but should be getting it swapped out next week

Re: Timing chain

I don't think it will be a faulty sensor as the car actually judders when setting off
But then again, some days it is fine and drives perfect

Family member works at a garage so they are pricing it up for me
