Got a CEL yesterday, pulled these codes today with VAGCOM.

The only one that concerns me is the first, control valve.
The turbo seems to surge when i first get on the gas during normal acceleration. Is this normal? I mean I can hear it spool really hard and then let off and start spinning up normally as I slowly accelerate. Does this in pretty much every gear.

Does anybody experience this? Is this normal?

Looks like your engine is about to die.

 

What is that supposed to mean?

 

Looks like your engine is about to die doesnt help me at all. Dont waste both of our time writing something that stupid.

 

by the turbo "surging" you mean it pulls you really hard early?

 

17608 - P1200 not on my database it starts with P1201

problem does sound like n75 valve (turbo waste gate valve ) and I agree the other codes are intermittent

 

the cylinder misfires could be bad coil packs

 

n75 or DV not holding boost?

 

Try new plugs, coil packs and a new DV. Shouldnt misfire after that. Then again, the BOV might be throwing the first code. Dont know for sure though.

 

I think it may have been a cold start that gave me the misfire. The turbo doesnt necessarily pull hard because I am not on the throttle hard, it just spins up hard at first, then spins down and then keeps spinnig up regularly as I accelerate. It pretty strange.

Could a cold start be to blame for the codes? I cleared them and they havent come back on. I may just need to clean my plugs?
