I wasn't sure which thread to pin this too so I though I'd start my own.
I've got very similar troubles to quite a few threads all with different outcomes.
It is just getting embarrassing to drive [/SIZE][/FONT]
I know the feeling the wife is refusing to use it.
At about 1800rpm in 3rd it billows, but I've also got a growling. Although only under strain. I thought it was a loose alternator belt, the tensioner was shot so I replaced that but the noise is still there.
I also cleaned out the EGR, it was like a coal mine. The smoking looked to be better but I thought the best solution was a new EGR.
Now that's replaced I'm still getting the same terrible smoking, at the same time I cleaned the pipes down to the intercooler and also the inlet manifold.
I also don't have any VAG-COM error codes
From what I've been reading it could be :
boost controller (N75 valve)
MAF sensor (although more for symptoms of power loss)
temperature sensor
Spilt Intercooler
Split pipe to the turbo
Any other options?
I'mw going to start with the pipe work.
