[Vwdiesel] TDI problems

[TexasTDI]

The N75 is a valve, not a relay.  Looking under the hood, look to your
right, right next to the master cylinder.  You'll see the N75 valve.  It's
white on top, black on bottom, with several vacuum hoses attached.  An easy
way to diagnose the N75 is to switch it with the valve right next to it, to
the left.  It looks just like the N75, except it's all black.  If power
returns, you know you have a bad N75 valve.
