i have the muscle down the egr now, it took off the actuator so i could tell if there was any resistance when moving the lever but i have to hit it with a bar to make it move,hopefully it starts to free up or the turbo might need to come off

With mine I'd lo leave it soak for about 3 hours. I came back every half an hour or so to move the actuator and top up with mr. muscle. Eventually it should start to free out. Be patient with it anyways, may need to even let it just soak in overnight
i have mr muscle down the egr valve now, i also took off the actuator to see if there was must resistance on the vains an i had to hit closed with a bar,hope it frees up or the turbo will have to come off
i took off the down pipe as well an fill it to with mr muscle to give it the best chance off working
ive got the turbo freed up an moving with my fingers but ive still no power, is it possibe that the car is a half turn off the timming?
If timing is out you get the TCS light come up on the dash (don't know why they chose that lol). You'd know by the sound of it too. Might still be in limp mode. I'd recheck the full vacuum setup for splits in the hoses then disconnect the battery for half an hour and the ecu might reset. Very hard diagnose a problem without vcds.

the only thing is the actuator is pulling the turbo close when i start an ive a we computer to clear the codes an still no good
an i even put the vacuum straight to the turbo an went for a run an i still have no turbo kicking in
i have changed the vac lines, i have got the lend of my mates seat leon an put my air flow meter, boost solenoid an boost sencer out of the intercooler on to his car an it goes good, i have put all his stuff on his car an i still have no power, is there something really obvious am missing, any ideas??????
yes but i didnt rev it much only wanted to see it the car would boost an there was no boost all
I drove my mates leon with the intercooler pipe off an my car drives the same as his without the pipe on

Have you got Vagcom? If so then have a look at boost requested vs actual boost you are getting. Block 115. You need to find out if the engine is requesting any boost.
I'm more of a petrol man, i understand diesels in general pretty well, but troubleshooting them is difficult as i'm not completely familiar with the VAG diesel range mate.

better off with petrol ! no mys is just a general car diagnostic that covers all cars, i plugged it into the car tonight an (instrument controller) is coming up as the only fault
You need to get hold of vcds it's the only tool for vws. I've had people come to with with cars that showed no faults on a generic scan tool to find numerous codes on vcds.

It probably just needed to reset itself out of limp mode. Boost should still come in a little earlier. When my was standard it came in boost around 2000 rpm and dropped off after 2500.
