vagcom code and how to fix?

[cuprakyle]

hey ppl sorry if this is in the wrong section but im new. i started having trouble with my car the other day, one moment it was driving and boosting normal, then all of a sudden the engine management was flashing and the car lost power, it still drove but very shaky and sluggish like when you try to drive really slowly in a high gear.

i had it on the diag and it came up with

P1297
Connection turbocharger - throttle valve pressure hose

the mec said that he also got crank ventalation valve on the diag which he said was common on the rs4/rs6 engines so it could be this?

if anyone could help me or have had the same problem with there car i would very much appreciate it

thanks again... the car is an 01 seat leon cupra

Iv checked the vagcom forum and i cant find anything on this code, has anyone had this problem before or could they tell me what i am best checking to resolve it

thanks

could check none of your hoses inc the boost hose has come loose

rite thankyou mate, im not really mechanically minded so should i just check all the pipes and hoses in and around the turbo area?

Check your hose to the dump valve for splits.

iv had a nightmare with this, all pipes and tubes are fine, iv even took the coils off to make sure all the connections were ok p1297 was the code but im clueless as to what to do, any ideas of the next step

cheers guys

P1297 - I've had the same code come up on my diagnostic, car seems to be running fine and no loss in power. The mechanic cleared the code and advised to come back if the engine management light came on. Could really pi point what was causing it though.

have you gt the correct dv on there?


are the running problems always there hot or cold engine?

ideally you need to follow every pipe and check its tight and not split, theres a squashed pipe running down the drivers side wing. you need to get under to see it from memory.

ive had this code and it didnt effect the car and vanished by itself. not saying its the same but it might not be the running issue.

if i was certain i had no leaks id look at the maf.

Thanks for the info guys, I'll have good look around the engine this weekend.

Just out of interest could this be an old fault? The MAF was replaced around 10k miles ago, the diagnostic guy said it might have been an old error that wasn't cleared from the ECU, however the P1137 code (mixture too rich) is what triggered the EM light this time as i'd topped up my oil the previous day with some 10w40 VAG approved oil
