[Vwdiesel] A few TDI followup questions

[Shalyn Shourds]

Now that I have the TDI running, I'm finding all of the other little 
problems.  One is that for some reason, a little section broke off the 
smaller of the two cooling fan's blades.  I had the part, didn't know 
what it was, and pitched it somewhere.  Now, of course, I can't find it 
to glue back in and the dealer tells me the blades are not sold 
separately, even though they are the worst plastic part I've seen in a 
VW.  Wouldn't bother me, but the fan runs poorly being imbalanced.  
Anyone have a mangled fan motor with a separable blade they could be 
convinced to part with?  I'm hoping the part is the same across the 
A3-A4 so I can maybe get really lucky and find on the a wrecking yard, 
even though I've never see a VW that new in the yards.  I'm also 
thinking that maybe I can just unhook that fan for a bit.  I presume 
they both run in the same circuit so one should cover the other somewhat. 

The other is that I'm getting an engine code of P3130   19586.  Bentley 
is silent on this one.  I searched TDIclub.com and it turned up 
something about the EGR being out of whack.  I do know that the EGR is 
running like 85%, and the MAF is reading ~500 when it should be at ~250 
max at idle.  I can't imagine that the MAF died while it was sitting in 
the garage for several months.  I don't know that much about all of 
these parts yet.  I guess I will soon....

Any help along the way would be greatly appreciated, as always.
