Cars going into limp mode to prevent overboost.
Usual suspect is the turbo wastegate sticking. You have a couple of options, You could remove it and to free of the wastegate and the control arm attached to it or it would be a replacement turbo.
There not too bad to remove and there is some good ...

Check your vacum hoses for leaks. Firstly check the one going to the turbo they usually rub through on the engine cover.

Its going to be a new regulator mate. On the golfs you can buy a repair kit but for some unknown reason they dont do them for the passat. I can price a regulator up for you today and could put it on for you tommorow if thats any good for you?

Take a look at the turbo pipe from the turbo itself to the the intercooler. The pipes like an 'S' shape. Usually they split half way down on one of the bends.

Thanks for advice guys. The wheels are 14inch teardrops for my project polo. The wheels are already polished but in a bit of a state with major laquer peel! il get pics up of said wheels tommorow when i collect.

Ive just purchased a set of polished wheels badly in need of a refurb. I want to have a go myself, But am unsure of firstly what to use and in what order to use it in.
Please Help!

As well as checking the ccm wiring remove the nsf kick trim. Behind there are a range of differant coloured multi plugs. Unplug the grey multi plug and have a look at both ends of the connections. The panel behind the multiplugs acts as a waterfall and could of turned the wiring green.

Workshop foreman, let me know if you want it looking at tommorow, il be here till about 2ish

I wont charge you a load of of money just a bit of beer money ;)

Il take a look at it for you, im in Halifax up at the vw dealership. Could take a look at it today for you if you want?

If you remove the nsf kick trim theres a load of multiplugs behind it. There should be a grey one located in the middle, This is the plug for the ccm. Unplug this and have a look at the connections on both ends of the plug. 99% of the time they get damp and suffer from a build up of corrosion.

I found two places one called Triple S in Bingley, and the other one is called pro-flo on Canal Road both in Bradford.
I opted for pro-flo only because they could have had them finished for today. The other place couldnt fit them in for another week or so. Both places charged roughly the same about

Well done mate
