Hi, I am just trying to get a confirmation on some issues I am having with my 2007 VW GTI (2.0T FSI).

Some background first:
Approx 158000+km
No performance upgrades (lame.. I know.. the only thing I've done is add a boost gauge)

-5 months ago I had regular service + I did the BG induction service. The dealer also replaced my PCV and RC motor under recall.
-2 months ago I had my cam follower/camshaft etc replaced under the extended warranty (I had been getting a CEL; at the time I didn't have VCDS or OBD2 reader).
-1 month after that I started getting misfires in cylinder 1 (at this point I picked up a OBDII reader, and also replaced my spark plugs and coil packs). Dealership diagnosed as failing injectors, so I had to shell out to replace all of the injectors, and I also replaced my fuel filter at the same time.
- 2 WEEKS after the injectors replaced I started getting another CEL. This time the OBDII reader tells me P0171 - too lean.
Symptoms: THis has been getting worse since the P0171 codes started, but iIntermittently, if I am in stop-go traffic, switching back and forth between first and second gear, I will be slowing to a complete stop, my foot has the clutch all the way in, and the engine will continue revving to 1600-1700 rpm for a a number of seconds. Even after I have come to a complete stop, the engine will still rev for a few seconds before going back down to 800 or so RPM. The CEL/MIL doesn't always immediately come on (at first it took a week to come back, now only a day or so).
Other than this "revv hang", I don't notice anything different in terms of performance, and something that is quite odd: my gas mileage has been phenomenal. I am getting almost 600 km out of 3/4 of the tank (I don't let it get much emptier then that as a rule)

Now, instead of going to the dealership and having those money vampires ding me again for nothing, I went out and got a Ross-tech Micro-CAN to attempt my own diagnose and repair.

I also followed the Ross-tech wiki for fuel trim http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/fuel-trim.html

I logged Groups 002, 031, and 032 to do the MAF test. I did a full-throttle run in 2nd twice (WITH THE CEL/MIL ILLUMINATED.. ie I had not cleared the codes). The first time the intake air peaked at 163.97 g/s, the second time it went up to 162.89. I am WAY above sea level in Calgary, AB, so I figured that this is pretty much ballpark... so I ASSUME there is LIKELY nothing wrong with my MAF.

Am I correct in assuming that it is most likely a vacuum leak somewhere (post-MAF?), or could there be an issue with the new injectors? Or a sticking throttle body? I have a hard time believing that it is a coincidence that this started 2 weeks after getting injectors replaced... but it may not be directly related.. maybe they didn't tighten something afterwards?
There are no obvious loose/disconnected hoses, and I'm afraid looking for leaks is a bit beyond my skillz. I've heard too many conflicting methods as well (spray throttle body cleaner, propane, pressurize with a bike pump contraption and use soapy water etc etc..)

Are there any other logs I could run to help diagnose? What Groups, etc should I log, and for how long of a run?

Sorry for the huge post, but I wanted to try to be thorough.

Thanks for any and all help!

 

[Coltello]

Good post. I can't help but I'm sure interested.

 

[JorynnRace]

Perhaps a secondary question: How many hoses are there after the MAF that could leak? Does anyone have a schematic of the engine on the turbo inlet side?

I have a theory that there may be a hole or something in the pipe that goes from the stock cover to the turbo, but I want to get more info about the other possibly leaking hoses before I go rip it off for nothing.

 

[shaun07]

There isn't a house after the inlet that could leak without throwing a boost leak, that would make it run rich, but the ecu would work itself to the point and adjust itself. Get sine carb cleaner, spray the maf, and blow it with air, and make sure the air box us seated right. . Do u have a vag vom? Run a log and email it to me: [email protected]

 

[JorynnRace]

Ahh, so if there isn't a hose after the turbo that would leak (without a boost leak), then it COULD be the pipe between the MAF and the turbo inlet..?

Last time I looked in my engine bay it did sort of look like the engine cover was a bit off. The only reason I say that is that the oil cap didn't seem to be flush with the top, it seemed like it was slanting to the left (ie. the left side of the cover was up more than it should be). I removed the cover, grommets etc.. put it back on, and it seemed to be sitting properly after that.. No change to the lean codes though.

I have VCDS, what logs/groups/blocks would be helpful? How should I run them? (ie. full throttle run in 2nd gear, or something else?)

Thanks for your help!

Well, I have had one local VW tuner shop diagnose my problem as being a failed/failing PCV.

My stealership replaced my PCV 6 months ago (just part of the TSB.. my original had not failed), so now I'll be off to them to see if they will replace it for free...

 

[Fraydknot]

Was there ever a resolution to this ssue? My 2012 is doing the exact same thing.

 

[JorynnRace]

Yes, I forgot to post the solution. My local tuner shop had incorrectly diagnosed a failing PCV.
I took my car to the stealership to see if they would replace the PCV, but low and behold there was nothing wrong with it.
The ACTUAL problem was that a crack had formed in the tube where the tuner shop had installed my boost gauge back in 2007!
Stealership replaced the tube and did a clean install of the boost gauge and I've been problem free ever since.

Hope that helps!

 

[Fraydknot]

Thanks for the response. I have been smoke tested and still no leaks............................... the issue comes and goes. Almost like a 2 cycle engine with bad gas in the tank.
