B 5.5 Passat 130 TDI, losing power/not boosting properly

[smithy602179]

i know its two beers lol but when you ask them for price they quote £10.82 per 5 metres as they can only get it in that quantity but then charge you the same for 1 metre this was quoted at audi and vw dealers so either they both went to the same school and didn't pay attention in maths or don't know that £10.82 / 5 = £2.164 a metre without a calculator or pc in front of them ..... thats my moan over


ps doctle odd is there a good exchange rate for £'s to yoyo's

looking at picture 2 the oil breather pipe doesn't look like its on the big pipe connection properly i may be wrong but worth looking at too

I bought some new vacuum hose today to do the one from the actuator and think I've discovered the offending pipe!!, when I moved the boost pipe I saw there was another vacuum hose that isn't connected, it is the one that goes from where the arrow is pointing here:

It goes down to here:

The other pipe that is connected is the one from the actuator, I'm not sure where this one is meant to go though, as I couldn't feel a hole in the sensor that the actuator one is connected to but it seems like that is the only place it could go?, anyone got any ideas?.

front of engine next to timing cover ia the n75 look there should be 3 pipes to it . Hope this helps

I missed one Smithy , cut out a piece of vacuum hose and joined it to N75 then put the loose pipe back in and sucess, I've got boost .
Thanks for all the help guys, really appreciated, quite partial to VWs and Audis so will be sticking around here.

glad you got it sorted at no real cost . did you get the vacuum hose cheaper than the dealers

I bought it from a motor factors at 77p per foot, trouble is I have 9.95 feet left over now, still it might come in handy in the future, it's a night and day difference now it's working again though .
