Injector Loom (01 Pass 130TDi)-anyone done?

**trevMk2** · 24-10-2009,08:12 PM

Glad my pics helped a few folks - goes some way to repaying the forum for all the stuff I've learnt. Unfortunately the new loom didnt cure my problem !!! still vibration at speed. Had all wheels balanced and that maybe helped a tiny bit but still not able to drive at typical motorway cruising speed due to the vibration - may post another query in case someone else can help.

Now got an immobiliser problem as well see below (and a wife nagging me to get a Japanese car !!)

If you do not like messing with cars, get a Honda

So I have a 2006 140 TDi Passat which is doing 32 around town and 45 on a long run. This is way below the book figures. The dealer altered some ECU settings, which has made the acceleration surge feel less snatchy and has got rid of the tendency to stall when pulling away. It doesn't seem to have made any difference to the mpg and it still throws out a cloud of smoke under full acceleration. So now they are saying injector loom. It's only 3 years old and 20,000 miles. What do you guys reckon?

Try posting on b6 forum. Loom problem usually feels like a misfire. It's a cheap option compared to replacing faulty injectors. Lets hope yours is a loom fault.

IMHO a loom as already stated causes a misfire which you do not mention having-I wouldnt bother changing this as symtom is not one related to loom and the low mileage would also count against this as being the fault.

**crazymike_30** · 23-12-2009,11:17 PM

hey ismith, there is no loom fault on the 2.0 tdi engines that i know of, the only common fault that i know about which corresponds with your problem is with the egr valves, they are always bloody going, i do loads of them at work, mainly on golfs but its the same engine, there not cheap and are often caused to fail by not giving there engine enough welly, hope this helps, mike!!

All internal looms will deteriorate with age and could become problemsome B5,B6 Mercedes,BMW etc however as already mentioned mileage would make me believe it is NOT loom.
