    power problem

    Hello
    I know this is a s2 forum, but many of you seem to run a passat diesel aswell - the problem with mine is it suddenly lose power when accelerating , if i turn the engine off & restart it all seems fine/back to full power again until the next time, but this is happening more & more.
    thanks

    vanes in the turbo coke up (boost control)causes the engine to over boost.the loss of power is the ecu droping in to limp mode.pretty easy fix to remove turbo,seperate the hot side of the turbo,decoke / unsieze vane pack.bit fiddly but saves on a new turbo !
