1.4 Twist Loses Power

[keefb2001]

Hi All,

I have a VW Polo 1.4 TDI Twist 2004 (04 Plate), recently I am experiencing the problem where whilst driving I will suddenly loose my turbo.

On turning off / on the engine, everything is back to normal with no problems.

It's an intermitant fault and the dealer (It's outside of warrenty) have told me that they dont know what the problem is (Despite them having done "Investigations" and charging £250+ the first time the fix the problem, the second time to tell me that it was dirty filters, and I now have it booked in for a week for the 3rd time).

If any one could suggest what the problem might be or shed any light on this I would be very very greatful.

Regards

Ask them about the air flow meter ;)

Had this problem with my 1.9 GT TDI Golf.

Would be driving then all of a sudden "bam" no turbo and before ya know it ur in high revs hardly not moving. Yes i had to switch my engine off then on again to sort the problem. Bet its the Air flow Meter.


Please get back too me on this

Thanks

It's the turbo m8.Sticky vanes cause over boost and engine goes into limp mode till u recycle ignition.

Does this only happen when your heavy footed??

Only ever happened to me when going up hills and i open her up. gets to about 60mph 3rd gear 4000 rpm and then it goes.
