My car got the error P029900 the other day. Is there anyway to know if the turbo is failing or broken?

Hi guys

Not sure if anyone else has had a similar issues with their B6, however it appears that some of the LEDs are failing to light properly, in clusters of 4 where there appears to be a lag when lighting up. Thought it was the tail itself and managed to snap up one from the wreckers...

So before I tackle the stat problem another one has cropped up...

Flashing glow plugs and "Engine Workshop!" error on dash this morning. Engine turns over but won't start. Call the RACV - no fault codes pop up on the VAGCOM. After checking the fuse boxes - fuses SC26 and SC33...

G'day folks,

Does anyone have a MK 1 they are considering selling?

Failing that, anything MK I Cabriolet?

Would welcome any responses...

Cheers

Super stoked about my new R36 sedan. I love it! It's elegant, subtle, spacious, practical and powerful...and as you all know it looks brilliant. I would upload a picture but am failing to see where i can do that.

Keen to see some other member rides around melbourne!

Hey Guys

Just a few days ago I noticed a huge lag in acceleration and not the usual turbo lag associated to the TDI, this is so much so, it just feels I'm driving a non turbo diesel with no power, if I take the revs above 3000rpm it seems to pull but still not like it used to, hmmm......

Has anyone else had trouble with the relay shaft ball constantly failing? I've replaced 2 in the last year, both disintegrating just after the 6 month part warranty from my mechanic. I know they're exposed to dirt, grease and road grime, but mine look like they melt!
