So, the Touareg has been acting stupid. Laggy, smokey, no power one second. Easing into the throttle, it pours smoke and barely accelerates. Then running perfectly the next. Generally, it doesn't throw a code unless I absolutely pound on it.
The last report reads like this. The same codes show using VCDS or the Phoenix.
I cleared the codes and drove it to work this morning. It's still acting up, but didn't throw any codes. There is a sensor that is failing or something is getting stuck.
I'd shoot it with the parts cannon, starting with the mass air sensor, if the parts weren't so expensive. I have pulled live data, and nothing seems to be out of sorts. TPS, Mass Air all read properly and smoothly. Looking at the above list, where would you start?
