Default VW Beetle will not accelerate past 60 mphs

Help, my 2001 VW beetle will not go faster that 60 mphs. On wet rainy days, it will not even do 60...
I have removed and cleaned the intake. I also replace timing chain, however, I could not set the timing. The car has 210,000 on it. Diesel Turbo TDI....

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
