2001 Passat 1.9 TDi 130
Cars been a bit sluggish for some time now and performs poorly at lower revs.
At stand still when revving up to around the 2000 mark there seems to be quite a delay between pressing the accelerator and the engine revving. It appears to be very unresponsive.
When driving, the car is poor until the 2000-2500 mark at which point the performance is back.
Its very noticeable when trying to pull away quickly, the engine lacks power until backed up by the turbo.
No faults found on the diagnostics check, cars been serviced (Note: problem was pre-service). Only real problem since new was that one of the turbo cooler pipes was loose giving extremely poor performance and took some finding' I'm not sure if this has had any lasting effect on any of the other components.
I've been using a diesel additive for a couple of months to see if this will have any effect on this fault but no real improvement to date. Cars done 80,000 miles and somebody did mention to me that the injectors can act up around 100,000.
Cleaned air mass meter (non-evasive) by spraying solveen onto the sensor surface, no difference noticed.
Any ideas!
