N75 Valve, which one?

Well, to the untrained eye the two links go to suppliers offering different parts - one offers an N75 valve and one doesn't.

If that appears a little smug I'll apologise in advance but I guess that the most-appropriate method is to search for the part number on the part you want to replace.

Would yours be toast, then? There's a load of threads about boost control valves and related plumbing.

When he said the one of the forum was wrong he gave me this part number 078906283A which i put into ebay, this is why the sellers are different. I did think the part number he gave me is not even a n75 valve.....but they upgrade and change stuff so i thought i would check.

I need a n75 valve.

If i search my part number on the car it takes me to the first one.....but he told that was wrong.....sigh

I see your dilemma; however, if you compare and contrast the pix in the ebay adverts - there's loads as usual and all look like the same tings in their own threads - it looks to me as though they aren't two examples of the same part. I attempt to attach pix; IT skills weren't on the timetable when I went to school, though, so please excuse rampant ineptitude.

If that works then what we see is that each has three ports (good) but not in the same relative positions (bad).

Which one of those is like yours would be a good clue, I'd think, and also that the example that doesn't look like yours is not the way to go. Plumbing is significant; this system works by allowing the manifold-pressure signal to be adjusted under cintrol of the ECU. The manifold pressure signal is bled away by the valve shuttling quickly between open and closed, so which pipe goes to which of the connections is quite significant. Where the connection ports aren't in the same relative positions on a replacement compared to the suspect OE part will have an effect!

It appears that perhaps your second advice is from someone who hadn't quite grasped which of the several control valves sprinkled around the motor is under discussion. N75 controls boost, and N249 controls recirculation eg during a gearchange. Both ar erelated to controlling the turbocharger and boost-pressure, but they do different jobs. I guess they are mechanically different for connections so that it's hard to put them in a wrong place. I'd do that if I was thinking of how assembly could go wrong.

If you have a duff N75, and are convinced, then hold fast, stick to your guns, get what you think you need.

Hoggy. :D
The mirror worked :D That is the part number on my car Hoggy, it should match the n75 i listed but when i tried to order it he said it was wrong.

Issue, intermittent over boost, low or no boost. Fault code 17963 after reading many threads i think it should be fixed by replacing the n75.

Hoggy. :D
Of course :)

So would the n75 in the link be right? despite what the man said?

Hi, That fault code gives replace N75,
The first link is for a 2003 A4, & probably fits, but the correct part No is VAG 058 906 283 F

I purchased one from tps recently and they sent 06A906283E for my 2001 bam 225. As I understand it that is the most recent version as there are a couple previous numbers.
Your part number and the one on my car are both listed in the advert of the n75 in the link, it must be the right one.

Everybody including me got it right......apart from the guy i tried to buy it off :D

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-AUDI ... 0290.m3507 so this is right?

Hi, I give up, :roll: it will probably fit, but the guy got it correct because it is listed for 2003 A4 not TT.
the correct part No is VAG 058 906 283 F

But it lists my part number as a match in the description on the advert. I cannot find one that is the same part number as mine. You are right 100% that is my part number. I will get this one then http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-N75-pet ... xy86RSZsuY but that matches the other too.....sigh

Thank you for your help and i hope i have not bugged you.

I've only just tuned in (showing my age using a phrase like that).

You have worked it out, but don't buy the one in this post I have quoted. Although the pics show an Eaton (oem) brand; and they use oem style logos, the actual item is cheap Chinese junk (not the boat :p ).

Yes I fell for it and eventually got a full refund and got to keep the part (for all the use it was).

I am always looking to save a quid, but it is wise to have oem on this.

Yes, i phoned Audi and they said it was one of two (both cost more than the ebay one) and they would need to check the car, they needed to know if it had one cooler or two.....now this i am interested in because when i asked about the manifold to turbo gasket a few months back i got two quotes...

1 cooler was 5 hrs if i remember right.
2 cooler was 9 hrs if i remember right.

What are these mysterious coolers? are they a way of making silly women spend more money :)

I ended up doing it myself using a guide on the forum in about 3hrs by the way.
