    Moving On

    Hi guys,

    Had to take the plunge and move on in the car world so have ended up with a 1.9tdi A4 avant (130) sline - got for a really good price. (hence not been about for a bit)

    Good car so far but one problem - When the car is first running (and it has probably been in limp mode since I had it to be honest) it seems like it want to go and then nose dives losing power (like when we boost in the s2 then get a sudden boost pressure loss). Have had it code read and it comes up with

    1956-1 - inlet manifold flap problem.

    Any ideas? Seems to want to boost but just dies - after codes cleared was a pig to drive for a few miles then seemed to settle again with it happening very few times at all 1 in 15 miles. The car feels overall down on power, turbo sounds good no other faults that I can find but the car sits at 90 deg at standstill and on mark between 50 and 90 on a run(tad cold?)

    Tis a 54 plate in Mauritius blue. Liking it and considering keeping the s2 for a play car

    Cheers all

      yup, get some EGR cleaner and give it a good blast (off the car though) as they get caked in gunk.

      Also worth taking the downpipe off the rar of turbo and see if the VNT mechanism is free, if thee stick they can be a pain and mae the car flat feeling too BTDT

        Cheers guys.

        Very little about this code on the net. Quite strange... Just my luck though.

              Sounds like a good clean is in order then. How about blocking the egr valve ( read it a few places)
