Title: P0101 and black smoke
Post by: Patters78 on July 05, 2018, 02:58:59 am
Hi guys

Right so car is a 2006 2.0TDI Jetta and recently has been brought back from the dead after sitting for a year.

I get on a crappy reader error code P0101 and a pending P0101 P ? Dunno what the last one means... and loads on black smoke in lower gears while pulling off how much pedal you give it changes how much smoke.
It also seems a little off so if you accelerate reach required speed and take foot off accelerator it’s kinda pulls back or is rough for a split second,  and also can be at times slightly rough up the revs a bit poppy?

Not got much money to throw at it as it’s cost me loads to get it back on road

Gonna start with mass airflow cleaner and where I should check for leaks etc?

Cheers
