Hi everybody,

Please take a little time for my rather long story, but consider the
fact that I' am struggling with this matter for more than a year.
I've bought a Audi TT 1.8 Turbo, 225 HP and soon I have discovered
that the turbine (turbocharger) is broken - was throwing oil in the
exhaust system and the effect was a black smoke.
I've changed the turbine, then because VAG-COM reported a error I've
changed the Lambda oxygen sensor everything was OK in respect with the
VAG-COM, or at least I got no more errors.

Then I have noticed ( I don't remember if this happend before I
changed the turbine) this strange behaviour: whenever I relase too
suddenly the throttle pedal I hear a noise in the air filter area
(some kind of rattling) and the engine rpm drop dangerously to a 400 -
600 rpm. Sometimes in slow speed corners the engine stops.

For this I have changed the throttle body with a new one, after many
calibrations and cleanings - no difference.

Recently I have changed the debitmeter with a new one and everything
got crazy. First the car worked almost as before - with a small lack
of power when I begun to press the acceleration pedal.
When I stoped after few kilometers I received the error:

Control Module Part Number:
 Component and/or Version: 1.8L R4/5VT         0001
          Software Coding: 05710
           Work Shop Code: WSC 00000
1 Fault Found:
16486 - Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70): Signal too Low
       P0102 - 35-00 - - - Intermittent

Then I cleared this error, made another few kilometers and I got:

Control Module Part Number:
 Component and/or Version: 1.8L R4/5VT         0001
          Software Coding: 05710
           Work Shop Code: WSC 00000
1 Fault Found:
16514 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Malfunction in Circuit
       P0130 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

I cleared also this error, I have callibrated the throttle body and I
got again the Lambda error.
I have cleared again the Lambda error and then the car became not
stable when I started it. It didn't start at the first few tries, I
got a huge rpm variation, I got explosions in the exhaust etc...

I had to disconnect the debitmeter (pulled of the power cable) and the
car worked different in the sense that it was the first time I didn't
experienced rpm drops, although the noise in the air filter area was
still persistent. But,       I couldn't go over 3500 rpm - it was
clear that this was not the fix.

In the next morning I have connected the debitmeter back, got
difficulties when I tried to start the engine but I have hepled the
engine to start by pressing hard the throttle pedal. Whenever the
engine passes the first phase, with the acceleration help it goes to a
"normal" behaviour.

Because I got again the Lambda error I have put it out and clean it,
although it was allready clean. From then on I  received no more
Lambda errors.

I have drove the car, with a difficult start, but then it worked fine,
on the highway with 130 - 160 km/h. When I got off the highway, after
couple of kilometers with 40 - 100 km/h, the ESP warning on bord
lighted up. I have stoped and I have seen that I had the new error:

Control Module Part Number:
 Component and/or Version: 1.8L R4/5VT         0001
          Software Coding: 05710
           Work Shop Code: WSC 00000
1 Fault Found:
16487 - Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70): Signal too High
       P0103 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

Even though I have cleared the error in the next 100 km it appeard
again a couple of times everytime announced by the ESP on bord.

I stoped, cleared the error, didn't start the car for few days then I
made around 300 KM - normal rode and highway. I had dificulties to
start the car but then it worked almost like before I changed the
debitmeter and ... I got no more errors! The next day, after a
difficult start I drove around 10 km but again no errors.

What I have noticed and I believe it is important is that whenever I
have dificulties to start the car, in the "001" Measuring Blocks field
in VAG-COM I got at "HOS2 Control" a constant "25%" value. Anytime
else I got a constant variation from -7% to +10%.

Well, that's the story... If it not clear please indicate me what else
should I do and what other data may I offer you. Maybe based on your
experience you can help me clarify:

- why the car is producing a rattling noise while decelerating in the
air filter area? I believe that it is relared with the "cut-off" valve
but how can I decide it is broken, what experiments should I make,
what data in VAG-COM should I follow?

- why is the rpm droping when I take the foot off the pedal?

- is the new debitmeter broken, or is the old one but in such manner
that it hides some of the car's vices?

- what do you think I should do to solve the problem or make it clear?

What's your g/s reading at idle in measure value block 2 zone 4, a/c
both on and off? With the engine running (in neutral), quickly hit the
throttle and try to get the load% reading in zone 2 close to or around
100%.  How many g/s do you see now?

I have changed back with the old MAF but I can give you a LOG I've
made yesterday on my way home. First column is the RPM, the second is
the g/s:

florinman@gmail.com - 07 Jun 2007 13:16 GMT
since I get back to the old MAF the MAF and Oxygen Sensor errors
dissapeard. Anyway I still have rpm drops and the sound on
deceleration (someoane on a forum reffered to the same sound I believe
as "Darth Vader exhaling" ). I have two suggestions related to this
sound:
1. Diverter Valve - which I have allready ordered (The Forge one)
2. Turbo Waste Gate Actuator.

What do you think?

Sience I have the old MAF back I also experience a new problem: The
engine is not running well after 3000 rpm, like there is sime kind of
blockage.
Other thing I have discovered using VAG-COM and field 115 in Measuring
Blocks is that the Actual Pressure and Requested pressure grow verry
slow and are nt related with the rpm only but with the rpm/time i.e.
if I increase the rpm slowly, no matter how much rpm the engine is
producing I have a requested pressure around 990 and actual pressure
around 10000. If I press the gas pedal violently then I have some
normal values - bigger than 1200...

Typical of a 1.8 diverter, usually a bit noisier than other makes and
models of vehicles. The new Forge valve should sound the same if not
slightly noisier. In the meantime make sure that the vacuum
connections from the throttle body to the turbo are free of any leaks.

I'd suggest putting the new MAF back in the equation and driving hard
to re-adapt the new values into the ECM. Generating a readiness code
while not necessarily needed in this case could definitely speed up
the computer's re-learning process. Even newly replaced MAFs will
hamper performance under load as the ECM was already used the prior
faulty values. It is not uncommon for some O2 and misfire faults to
pop up; just clear them. You are re-adapting the throttle right?
florinman@gmail.com - 08 Jun 2007 12:04 GMT
Yes, I have re-adapted the throttle after every change or cleared
code.
With the new MAF that was generating errors I drove more than 500 KM
on normal rodes and highway up to a 180KM/h. In lower gears was a
mess. In 4, 5 and 6 it worked fine... until it gave me the errors
above. Still whenever I stoped the car, to start it again was a
nightmare....
You are saying that I should put it back after I replace the DV?

Yes, and drive hard under loaded conditions for a while until you feel
it smoothen out. Accelerate up hills hard in lower gears etc.
florinman@gmail.com - 18 Jun 2007 17:03 GMT
Hello,

Well I have finally replace the DV. The resoults are good: the noise
dissapeared or at least is hardly noticeable and the rpm drops are now
smaller and rarely appear.
But... to be able to use the car untill I got the DV I have put back
the old MAF and I have returned the new one (I descriebed the problems
related with the new MAF in my first post). Since then I experience a
engine power loss. I am still hearing the turbo but the car lacks
power.
Please see the VAG-COM log file in which I have also generated a
graph: http://www.yousendit.com/download/WFJVblFBYTIrV3cwTVE9PQ
What I suppose is that there is a problem with the turbo pressure
because the actual pressure (@Intercooler) (with the red color), is
allways less than requested presure - yellow. In fact the pressure
only incerases if I press at once and very hard the gas pedeal. If I
press it gredualy nothing happens. Is this normal? With blue are the
rpm. With green are the verry slow values recorded by the MAF. What do
you think about these measurements?
