All listed below are the like culprits of many common issues that we run into on a daily basis.
N75 issues / symptoms : Intermittent boost issues Limp mode Worse when hot
N249 issues / Symptoms: - Power loss - Logging fault code - Cutting boost mid gear Maf / Amm issues / symptoms: - lack of power - Power fluctuation through the rev range - Logging fault code
Dv issues / symptoms - fluttering noise instead of air rush noise boost loss over boost cut logging fault
Testing:
Maf/Amm - Unplug sensor and go for drive, if improves symptoms likely to be the issue
N75 - Un plug, drive if resolves issue then likely sensor at fault
N75 - Measure voltages at plug to N75, should be 11-14v pin 1, pin 2 should be 3-5v
N75 measure Ohmic value of valve hot and cold - should be 25-35 ohms
DV- push up valve from bottom then cover top spout, when you release top spout should bang back into place, if it doesn't, likely cause.
a Boost gauge is a very quick and easy way to determine if you have an issue. Vcds or suitable Obd code reader will also show if your logging any issues and can also be used to check if sensors are working as they should be.

Please double check your part numbers as they may differ depending on modal, the details below are for a 2001 BAM 225. Part numbers are as follows: N249 - 078 906 283A N75 - 06A 906 283 F ( latest revision) DV - 06A 145 710P ( latest revision) Maf / Amm - 0 280 218 034 ( bosch)

    Hi there! I've been following your videos since buying my own 1.8T 8n, absolutely brilliant! Today I have mounted boost gauge as I had a feeling car is a bit sluggish. The reading I'm getting is no more than 0.6 bar... Disconnecting MAF improved the drive but made the reading fluctuates from 0.6 to 0.8 .. So I guess it's time to go through the pipework. Also - the previous owner mounted Forge recirculation valve which I've heard are famous for leaks...

I did the finger test and sure enough it was worn out. Fitted the new DV and it's gorgeous now . Smooth power and I'm convinced nicer changes when giving it some .

    Very timely video, chasing down a boost leak myself at the moment. Regarding code.readers, can't recommend OBDEleven enough, it's VAG specific so reads all the submodules on the ECU which many readers don't, it can also.do data logging so you can chart your boost etc. I've replaced a few suspect and leaky hoses but still losing boost, particularly when the engine gets hot, so wondering if my N75 is the issue... Will be Ohm testing tomorrow. 👍

    I recently purchased an Aviator Grey MK1 TT Quattro 225 Coupe with a load of the APR catalog, drove about 800 miles trouble free, now it shudders violently under any throttle less than full throttle, only pulling 5psi. Code reader codes: P0455 (Evap System Large Leak), P1297 (Pressure Drop between Turbo and Throttle Valve- Check DV) and P1136 (System Too Lean). Hoping this should help. Thanks for the content, also great help removing the headliner and interior panels after a shop botched the headliner replacement before I purchased the car.

If you have access to it get a smoke or pressure test. That will show what’s leaking

Not heard ac compressor before but sure that’s run on a belt so should be static when powered off. If you can get a multifunction tester you should be able to test around to see what’s drawing a current.

    Awesome vid dom. I just lost most of my power on my 2001 225 1.8T and it’s misfiring cylinder 4 and pending 3. I replaced both coil packs but no difference. Could the N75 or MAF cause this ‘golf cart mode’ (major loss of power). Hopefully it’s not a ring. And I will check all vacuum hoses and valves. Many thanks mate!

    Greetings from New Mexico. What is that pipe called you held in your hand at 9:34. The pipe that was weak or collapsed. In the mean time, mine was collapsed (122K miles) from suction (vacuum) and I gave it a second wind by inserting a like diameter spring into the pipe. The pipe is very weak so I think there could be a tear from attempting to open the pipe and stiffen it up. What is the name of that pipe? Or the part number. Thanks, great instructional videos.

    Had a quick read, genuine n75 is branded Eaton, you can get genuine parts from “Coverdale car parts” they supply genuine parts and try to beat TPS. You need to test sensors, plug in And check codes, read what the sensors are seeing, test voltages at plugs etc before just replacing with new bits as will cost you a fortune long run haha. Likely either map or n75 issue, check maf too but probably more boost related

    Hi, love the channel! I have a weird turbo issue with my s3 8l that I was hoping you may be able to help with. After 10 mins or so of decently hard driving my turbo just shuts off completely. From one shift to the next it goes from 100% to 0% (which leads me to believe it's definitely not a boost leak). With chill driving the turbo stays online for hours (drove 400km the other day never going above 3k rpm and had turbo the whole way), then did a few mins of boosting at the end and it shut off. My current theory is maybe the wastegate gets stuck open. Is this a possibility? I know that my afterflow pump is a bit broken which might have something to do with it. I've got a replacement which I'll be putting in soon so will see if that makes a difference. The previous owner also put a blow off valve on which I'll be removing and replacing with OEM but don't really see how that could be causing the issue. Unfortunately, I don't currently have a code reader but that's something I'm looking into (quite confusing to me). Cheers

    Sounds like it’s over boosting and then going into limp mode. It could be a number of things.

It could well have logged a code saying this sensor has gone down, this sensor has registered an over boost etc.

    Can n75 or n249 reduce your boost without throwing up a code? Car has lost a bit of power so fitted a boost gauge, its hitting 16psi peakthen holding 13psi.. its remapped and im told it should be peaking st about 20psi. No damaged pipes and local 'audi specialist ' cant find anything wrong! Also getting occasional exhaust pops when decelerating and changing 1st to 2nd when warmed up but not cold

    Does the n75 throw up codes? As I’ve got an issue with boost between 1500-2000rpm where it just cuts boost (not fully) but still boosts after but doesn’t feel 180bhp as mines the AUQ engine feels more 140ish (not for cert)

I was giving all the hoses a proper look around and noticed where the turbo actuator pipe from the N75 goes into the turbo that there is no metal clip anymore!!! Could see some fresh and shiny metal and could move the turbo actuator pipe up and down the metal connecting tube, assume that would cause some issues with this maybe? Likely small air leak down there. Any other tips on diagnosing overboost would be appreciated! I've already fitted a catch can to get rid of the pesky pcv system ;)

It goes all the way to redline now...but from 2k to 4.5k rpm it will hit 16psi of boost (it pulls nice) and after 4.7k rpm to redline it starts shooting down and only holds 5 - 8psi (feels sluggish).

Unplugging the sensor, usually of people are getting bus related issues if you unplug it and take it for a drive you will notice that it boosts smoothly compared to when it’s plugged in.
