Loss Of Turbo

[victor1]

Hi again everyone!

 

Here we go with yet another turbo or torque loss problem :) , it was all fine up until last week when it suddenly started to stumble at 2500rpm+ with no turbo kicking in, however after a couple of days even the stumble disappeared with total loss of turbo. I have tried disconnected the MAF sensor and this seems to make it somewhat worse with further reduction in power. Have any of you encountered this stumble in place of turbo kicking in?

Could this be the MAF - should I get it changed :) ?

any advise gratefully appreaciated.

 

regards

Victor

Check all the thin rubber pipes from the vacuum solenoids to the inlet pipes and turbo.

What sort of turbocharger do you have fitted ?

 

Seem to recall reading that the vanes in the VNT turbocharger fitted to the VW 1.9TDI engines can become clogged with soot and jam. The valve that operates the turbo can also be faulty.

 

Do you have the check engine light on ?

hi victor have had and still got lack of power on my gal, like you disconnected maf problem was worse, still decided to replace maf anyway but stil have the loss of power problem, so hope this helps before spending money on a new maf

Marauder - all visible pipes seem in order, where about might this Vac solenoid be? :unsure:

 

Dunny - No engine check lights of any sorts showing <_<

 

Codfly - I am not sure about the MAF, but what else exactly do I ask my local garage to look at first or replace :unsure: , I dont want to take it to Frauds (for obvious reasons!)

 

thanks again for your responses
