Hi guys, probe with my 1.9tdi galaxy. The garage said its a turbo prob but I have my doughts. I took of the egr and it was full of gunk so cleaned all that and hoses no different. Next removed all the parts about the turbo and cleaned as all the YouTube vids show you, the turbo was nine dry and no movement at all so put back together with no change. When I take the car out it wooshes when you boot it with black smoke, the hotter the car gets the worse it gets, I did find a bolt undone on the manifold and not sure if the gasket if goosed or if it's the intercooler ? Any help would be much appreciated guys am beat. Cheers Alan

Hi guys thanks for the add, we have a 2002 1.9tdi and when your driving it feels like the turbo cuts out, more so if your fethering the throttle. Flick the ignition off and on again and it runs fine, it might do it once a week to 4or5 times in one journey. Usualy get a good puff of black smoke when you do this. I found a small hose off a black thing behind what I think is the egr valve, seemed to be less powerfull but it could just be me......... Any help would be appreciated guys, thanks
