Hi All,
I have like to work on my cars instead of taking to a garage. Now I have a problem with my partner's car which is a VW Vento 1.9 TDi.
The problem I have is you can drive the car normally not a problem but all of a suddern you get a drop in power where the turbo kicks in. I have spoken to someone (but can not remember who) and one thing they said try when this happens is turn the engine off and back on - when doing this the power comes back for a bit and then drops off.
The question is - what is doing this and how do I sort it?
Any help on this would be much appricated as this is the first car I have worked on that is diesel, has a turbo and has injectors.
