Loosing power

Post by Kurtjames »

Good Evening guys

Im driving a 2005 1.9 Polo TDI. When driving and picking up to about 60 to 80km it drives ok but after that it looses power and climbs hills very sluggish. After putting the ignition off and restarting power is back back becomes sluggish again and on the straight I can do about 120km.

Limp home mode. Either a low or too high boost issue. Scan with tool like vcds and see whatbit logged as faults. Attend to those.

Hwst Kurt....I had the same issue recently...I changed my vacuum tank....its the ball next to the oil filter...turned out to sort the issue...no more boost issues...no more limp...just inspect your and see maybe it's the problem...cheers man
