hi,
i have a 03 t5 130bhp tdi van imported to nz from the uk. 76000 miles on the clock and today while overtaking the turbo cut out, this is the second time this has happened both while overaking, the revs were not very high both times when it cut out. then the revs will not go above 2000 rpm. turning off the engine resets the problem.
i took it to a vw agent here and they said the turbo should be replaced or get the turbo de-coked by a sandblasting specialist.both expensive, does this seem right or is this also the turbo acuator needing adjustment?
cheers kiwi martin.

 

Hi guys,Kinda new to this turbo diesel thing just got an 06 plate ibiza fr tdi and looking for some help. Im looking to get good gains, but dont have enought money for a hybrid, yet......Well next month the car is going in for a remap at vagtech, thought id get a stage one out the way, now then, im also tempted to endulge in a straight exhaust and a pd160 intake with a new panel filter. But other than that what can I do to get some power gains, also i would like to get the car ready for a hybrid pd150 thanksxpa

 

After market exhaust systems add a bit more power..ive tried it on my saturn..and of course,,i added some more saturn performance chips to it..
