As Bill has given you info I'll add a little more....


17536
Possible cause - Air leak, fuel pressure problem


17705
Possible cause - Hose leak (turbo)


17956
Possible cause - Wastegate problem


EOBD P-0171
Possible cause - air leak, faulty MAF sensor (what a surprise on a VW...lol), fuel pressure problem.

Sorry Steve, wasn't trying to steal your thunder - I got side tracked reading posts about faulty VW's and then remembered why I started looking

Every little helps.....

warleydaddy

Are pair are FUCKIN LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!!!

BUT,whats this "MAF" Sensor??

Basicley,the prob were having is,is that the car does boost,but very slightyley,and is VERY slow....Car is a Cat D,that weve repaired,but it drives great,just havin these stupid boost problems!!

MAF = Mass Air Flow or Air Flow Meter if you prefer its a very very VW/Skoda/Audi/Seat (basically any car that runs a VW engine) problem area

warleydaddy

Ahhhhhhhh ok cool,so the air flow sensor then..Got a few VEE DUBS in at work,so will take 1 off another,and see if that helps...

Thank you SOOOOOOOO much for the links/answers your put up,REALLY helped me out,BIG TIME!!!!!!!!
