hookie Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 My '98 1.9TDI has done about 100,000 miles. The engine seems sound with good compression, doesn't burn oil or smoke (oil or diesel). It starts easily even in the coldest weather and pulls well when cold. However as the engine warms up it gets progressively more and more sluggish until when hot it "won't pull the skin of a rice pudding". When loaded up it has a job out accelerating a sprightly artic! Help please... Quote
