passat power loss

[tealthou]

Hello,
Im new to the forum so hello all.
I bought a pdi tuning chip for my Passat.After fitting all went well for a few mins maybe 5 mins the a loss of power as if i had lost a cylinder.Restart the engine and all is fine again for a couple of minutes then again the same thing happens.
I have removed the chip thing but the problem is still there.
I hope someone can help me out,thanks in advance.
This is what i foolishly bought.

You're probably best to get a code read and see what faults show up.

These cheapo chip things fool the ECU to inject more fuel........ most of them are rubbish with a chip that costs pennies inside the connector.

Thanks for that.But how do i get a code read,can i do it myself?
Thanks.

It was just a small pipe had disconnected,it was on the bulk head.Just joined it together and hey presto.
Thanks
