Welcome to the forum. welcometomyturbodies
it said I had a fuel Temp Sensor open or short (P0183). Found sensor with broken wire from being in a bind a very long time. Just finished soldering and insulating.
VAG Error Code: 16567/000387
EOBD II Error Code: P0183
Fault Location:
Fuel Temperature Sensor 1 (G81) - Open Circuit/Short Circuit to Positive
Possible Cause:
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)(K83) active.
Fuse(s).
Wiring/Connector(s).
Fuel Temperature Sensor 1 (G81) faulty.
Possible Solutions:
Check/Replace Fuse(s).
Check/Replace all faulty Wiring/Connector(s).
Read Measuring Value Blocks (MVB).
Check/Replace Fuel Temperature Sensor 1 (G81).
When is the code detected?:
An excessively high voltage from the sensor is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM).
Description:
The fuel tank temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature inside the fuel tank. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The modified signal returns to the Engine Control Module (ECM) as the fuel temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.

Just purchased I think 1.9, BEW, MK-4 with known problem of lots of black smoke, little power,
I have VCDS but DO NOT know how to use it yet.
Black smoke from a diesel engine indicates poor and incomplete combustion of the diesel fuel.
