Fault codes... what a stress!

[ichieford]

Was wondering if any one can help,
Had my mk1 20v leon for 4 months and had several problems with it be back and forth to place i bought it and th stealers(who chrged £120 for the pleasure of new spark plugs and no answer to my problems!)
Had a VAG test done and thecodes came up sujesting that my MAF was faulty so got a new one and fitted no problems, after 2 weeks car decided it didnt like starting up cold and now my dash is lit up like an xmas tree with engine light and tcs,, ran VAG again and came upwith codes..
17608
01314
Had abit hunt around and not sure what they mean..
Any ideas its doing my head in!!

Temp sender would be my first port of call. Although 17608 points towards an N249 fault... but the symptoms you describe sound like temp sender.

Thanks mate,
Mind you once the car is started it runs well, The taty who had the car before me has drilled several holes in the air filter box so when i do start it at makes a weird noise, oh what does a n249 mean?

I agree with Rob.

The N249 valve is a boost control valve that is located undet the L shaped engine cover - Car forward of the Inlet Manifold.

The 01314 error code is a connection problem between the engine and the control module according to the code info. I would sort the problem above first and the check the 01314 one again later. It might be a red herring.
