A several problem never solved after 1 year
Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2021 3:27 pm
Hello to the whole team and sorry in advance if my English is bad at times.
I'm the "happy" purchaser of a Scirocco 2008 model, 225,000km 2.0 TDI but since more one year, I have a several problem.
Let me explain:
Every 3 weeks - 1 month (it's very periodic) my engine heats up quickly (summer and winter) the problem continues a few days before being deactivated and restarting 3 weeks - 1 month later), without me doing anything it would be.
The symptoms are as follows:
- Motor that heats up quickly when reaching 90 ° (does not go beyond)
- Idling around 1000t per minute (800 in normal times) (with tremors of the exhaust at the rear)
- Burnt smell under the hood
- Whistling noise when accelerating (but I have a new turbo)
- I also gain power WHILE the problem is active (incredible)
- The radiator obviously starts up
Here's everything I changed while my problem was still there:
- DPF regeneration: OK
- Turbo fully replaced
- Calorstat replaced
- EGR valve fully cleaned
Is this a turbo solenoid valve problem?
Injectors?
I don't know what to do anymore ... I explained the problem to 3 mechanics but they don't know ... please help me guys, I don't wanna sell it, I love her
Thanks to all!
