Today, went to Diesel Electric Welkom - The place that did my Injectors.
Diagnostics show.
Code P0101 - Mass Air Flow Sensor
As mentioned on page 1
I did replace with a brand new Goldwagen MAF the complete unit, so is this Faulty again or need it to be cleared once replaced ?
Code P0301 Combustion Failure Cylinder 1 - Glow plug ?
I did change all 4 Glow Plugs as mentioned on page 1
Also I now did a full service with new Diesel filter, fuel pipes, cleaned the tank, Glow plugs, lift pump fuse, main fuse, all car fuses, and fuel pipes changed / R3500 job
Is it faulty, or did I not put it in right ?
Code P0299 Boost Pressure Control below control limit
New code did not get this before.
Now is this the actuator or N75 Valve or Turbo ?
Live Data:
Last there was something that is telling the live data there is a misfire on cylinder number 1
Now they told me that it might be the glow plug, the injector or head gasket might be blown on cylinder number 1
------------------
Battery Center Welkom Tested the Battery and Alternator and it is in good condition no faults.
Fuses was replaced aswell as mentioned before, this includes main fuse and all the fuses.
-----------------
As mentioned on page 1 when I started the thread,
I am left with 2x options now
Top gasket (No burning oil, and no boiling water or using water, temps is normal even if driving out of town 200km trips) Cost R5000 - R7000
Turbo (Spins freely, and no play, No smoke) Cost R9500 Turbo and if I import it R6000, then to fit R2000 ?
Reason why I say this is again.
I called Panic's Place and he think it might be injector or injectors.
Explained I did the injectors, he said well it seems you are left with the head gasket, but can't say yes it is it or no it is not, Do a compression test first.
Now Diesel Electric Welkom also saying that it might be the head gasket as cylinder number 1 has a misfire, with a glow plug not working or faulty or showing on the diagnostics as combustion issue, it might make sense to do the head gasket as maybe the cylinder on casket is torn or blown.
I will need to do a compression test.
-------------------
Gasket is R685 Goldwagen.
Code for the Gasket is 03G103383B
partsfinder.goldwagen.com
skimmed not sure if you must do it or not necessary to do so.
last to do everything including a Audi OEM Top Gasket was R5k to R7k if I do it at Mechanic so I am sure if I just buy the gasket from goldwagen and pay for the skimming my self, I am left with Labor from a place that will charge me R500 per 1 hour Labor only.
No Coolant leaking
No Bubbles in the radiator or coolant overflow tank
No Overheating engine
No White milky oil
Only when I start the car there is a puff of White smoke from the exhaust pipe for 30sec or so and it is gone
And now I know that the Glow Plug on Cylinder 1 is having some issues.
Now ffs injector again ?
Is it just the gasket maybe ?
Glow plug maybe ?
Need to start with compression test, and buy new glow plug.
Any suggestions will help.
