loss of power pd130

Post by nodeward »

my pd130 tdi has been being doing something a bit odd recently, it losses power for no apparent reason. it is not a massive reduction in power (not like when a intercooler pipe pops off) but seems like the turbo just isn't quite working at 100%, still perfectly driveable but noticeable when trying to get onto the motorway or overtaking.

even more unusual it is fixed by turning the car off and on again, I am thinking maybe turbo related? I have checked all the turbo hoses etc and nothing seems to be amiss and like I said it is intermittent, happens maybe once a week.


cheers
