Probably the Fan Control Module, located under left-hand chassis rail at the very front of the car. Common faulty part. Replacement is upgraded. around £140 IIRC.

Mine has been perfect since I changed it a few years back.

As S2tuner said.............. I had this. Check the switch above the clutch pedal is adjusted correctly to actuate when the clutch is fully UP. It opens a small valve. This can be noticed on the boost gauge at idle (if you have one) or logged on VAG-COM. There is a channel which checks the operation...

N/S Rear is common - Have replaced both mine although O/S was OK. O/S gets less road cr@p on it as N/S is running in the gutter UK. Parts are cheap.

Can be done on the car with the SIR B90 Bearing puller tool.

Correct - The TBB (Throttle Body Boot) is a very common leak point and only opens up at near 1 bar.

Also, a leaking or stuck diverter valve will not show up on a pressure test as both sides are pressured on this type of test.

That's why you remove the oil filler-cap to stop the hissing noise due to build-up of pressure in the crankcase returning through the breather pipes. It's normal, caused by the blow-by of the piston-rings etc into the crankcase. That's what breathing is all about, returning to the inlet system to be...

Think it's got sequential gearbox too, changes gear faster than you can blink. Popping and banging at start is anti-lag to give b...
