Good morning to you all,
I am having a strange problem with my car. The vehicle is a PD 130hp and a few weeks ago i noticed it was loosing power. I went to a VW/Audi dealer and they diagnosed damaged injectors (the car has 100.000km). Not happy with the diagnose I went to a different mechanic that changed my MAF, replacing it with an OEM new one. The car became completely different afterwards (good torque and I can hear the turbo). Still he told me that I could try to add an additive to the fuel in order to better clean the injectors, which I did. I bought a FAHER treatment and mixed it with a full bp ultimate tank. Since then I hadn't notice anything strange with the car, It behaves normally, however yesterday on the highway ( and still with the tank containing the injector treatment) I had much difficulty to to beyond 180khm, it seemed "stuck". Could this be related with the additive? .. or something else? Clogged EGR?? .. I also heard that sometimes the problem with the injectors is not the injectors themselves but the connectors/wires that take power to them that get corroded... Could that be the answer?
Please try to help ... as I am getting a bit disappointed with the car....
thanks
