Toledo 1.9 tdi 90 power loss

[Seat 45]

I know this one has done the rounds, but I would value any help offered. My 1995 Toldedo has developed an anoying power loss under load. On the flat she pulls well with no smoke and accelerates up to the rev limiter(no other problems exhibited at all), she returns 55plus mpg.

The problem appears when she is on a hill or incline, foot flat to the floor and the speed starts to fall away, changing up makes no difference to speed and it just starts to fall away. Once on the flat she will pull away again quite happily.

My initial thoughts were MAF, but on the flat she will rev away to the line and doesnt appear to suffer on power delivery. Have done all the filters, but dont know where to go now?

Have you checked the vacuum pipes, i had a problem similar to this and that was the problem.

does it reset with ignition turned on and off and is there any ecu codes

hi,

sounds like a sticky turbo or egr valve making the car go into limp mode which resets after you restart. Try taking the vacuum pipe off the egr valve (big silver disk on top of engine)
