    Hi im just wondering if i can get some advice please?? Im new here so hey!
    VW PASSAT 2.0TDI 140 SE (08) since owning the car.. it runs brilliant. turbo does sound very loud almost like i can hear a not so turbo sound but a loud blow off? ... but every time i go around 50+MPH and actually put my foot down a little to overtake for example i keep getting a glow plug light + Engine fault - Garage on the dash?? The light annoys me so I park up .. reset the car it sometimes starts instantly sometimes I have to wait a minute or so.. I have took it to a garage and he said there was a blockage in the exhaust and fixed it i do doubt this.. but on checking a diagnostics it appears to have a boost leak he said earlier before diagnosing the exhaust?? could this cause this ?? thank you.. only happens when i put my foot down

    Any help will be very appreciated..

    " turbo does sound very loud almost like im opening a bottle of pepsi ... "

    Sounds very much like you have a leak in the intake pipework between the turbo & inlet manifold.

    You need to check the pipework carefully as it will only show up when under boost from the turbo.

    Could be a loose joint, split in a rubber pipe or hole in the intercooler.

    There will probably be an egress of oil mist from the leak so look for tell-tale signs.

    Thank you so much firstly for you in-depth analysis i really appreciate the time you have taken to reply!

    Yeah it sounds very unusual.. ive had a Vectra 1.9cdti so i can imagine the sound should be similar from the turbo.. this car sounds very loud with the turbo..

    Pepsi was probably a bad example but you catch my drift.. its very loud like i can hear ALOT of air.
