Hello people!


Im a new member and seeking for advise or guide how to fix this issue with my CC. Almost everything is shorted to ground on this car. We bought it with engine problem, Ive fixed numerous tiguans but its my first CC pretty much same engine. Following job done on it:

1 Timing chain and tensioner replaced (yes, timing set correctly)
2 Valve job done, valve steams replaced.
3 Intake manifold replaced with new fromVW dealership
4 Turbo wastegate flapper replaced (yes, we do repair them instead of replacing the whole turbo)
5 rear main seal replaced
6 injectors cleaned


After all of this work done we were super excided itll run with no issues, however the car still having a hard time starting on cold start with black smoke from tailpipe and chek engine light is on. once its warmed up it runs great.
We found that the wire behind the brake booster was melted, and 5 wires were shorting, so to be on safe side we split open all wiring harness under the hood with extra caution not to cut any wires and inspected them so, no other shorting wires found. Put everything back together and took it local mechanic and he advised the ECM is toasted. so we ordered a used ECM from ebay and had the dealer swap it but the problem is still there.


Any thoughts highly appreciated! the auto scan results below.

Looking at the error codes I would say you still have shorting wire somewhere in the engine bay.

Do you have factory wiring diagram for your car? If not buy 1 hour from Erwin and print the engine bay wiring diagrams. Especially check the wiring from the modules giving the errors. They most likely have common feed which is shorted at some point.

I do not have a wiring diagram, however all wires has been checked for each module...…..

Not experienced with this model, but did you remove any engine mounts? If so, were there any 'oh shit forgot to unplug this wire' moments? Aka did any wiring come under mechanical stress. If so any spot theyre mounted to a bracket or feeded through the firewall should be checked.

I’m sorry but I’ve heard this comment so many times and then when they’re checked against the diagrams, oops, broken or shorted wire :)

Anyway, with the diagrams you are able to pinpoint from which pins you should have what and then debug using good old fashioned multimeter.

Then one thing, check the relays in the engine fuse box. The short might be in the relay as well.

What caused the wires to melt in the first place? Definitely looks like a wiring issue where there could be more damaged wiring further up/down in the loom. I would suggest getting hold of a engine bay wiring loom and refitting that and not waste time trying to repair the original unless you are ok with unwrapping big sections of it

"Short to GND" can also be caused by a lack of +12V on the other side of the actuator. Most actuators are low-side switched, in other words they have +12V on the one side all the time and the ECU switches the other side to GND in order to turn on that actuator. If there's no +12 on the ECU's input when the switching element is off, it will report "Short to GND".

Check wiring diagram for a common source of +12 for these actuators. The problem may be as simple as a blown fuse or a relay that isn't closing.

Uwe, you might be right. Here is the one code for battery terminal..... 012423 -
(Voltage Supply Relay for Engine Components P3087 - 000 - Electrical Malfunction - MIL ON)

Im not sure what caused it to melt, that was right behind the break booster pump (same on all 2.0 tsi between 09-14- Tiguan, passat, jetta, GTI, golf) Ive replaced so many booster gaskets but never seen the wire damage at that place.

Not sure what caused it, I did already unwrap and put back 85% of under hood wires related to all faulty modules. However I haven't check the positive feed to alternator side. The code below refers to battery terminal wiring:

012423 - Voltage Supply Relay for Engine Components
P3087 - 000 - Electrical Malfunction - MIL ON

Did you first check each consumer of DTC record for direct short?

Try to disconnect cables/penetrator from alternator, clear fault codes and perform scan. There has been some issues where diode brigde in alternator fails, and this drags down/short the 12VDC. Check engine component current supply relay J757 in Fuseholder B, and Terminal 15 voltage supply relay J329.
Do you have issues with cruise control as well??
I do am not mistaken the many of the modules you have problems with, has 1 common -> connection 87a, which should be positive connection (no13), please check this, and the wiring between these sensors and Red and white in engine compartment harness.

Regards
Gremling
