Hey all
1.9 TDI PD130 here
Im needing some additional more professional advice, help, and points in the right direction please. So whoever reading this who may be able to give some input into the situation would be of great appreciation. Thanks....
The problem:
Ive had my car for about 5 years... running perfectly! Frequent oil changes and services. The engine has done around the 160k mark. It is a standard engine and does not have any mad mods! A few weeks ago i noticed the turbo not spinning, or just not producing any boost at all which has resulted in the car pulling like a 50cc moped. Now at the time the turbo did kick in ever now and then like it was sticking? This happened more when the engine was cold. Today, this doesnt seem to happen anymore, not even when cold.
Now i have disconnected the plug that goes into the air filter (cant remember what its called) - No difference.
I have checked all the boost pipes etc and again everything is in tacked. (the point is you can not hear the turbo present at all regardless of a boost pipe lose)
I have taken it to a mate and hooked it up to VAGCOM and it has come up with an error (cant remember what error) but the mate said it is either the N75 boost valve or the turbo variable vanes inside. I have replaced the N75 with a new one and its made no difference. So now i'm stuck and thinking the worst... a new turbo ?!?!?!?!
The big question is.... what do i do?
Has anyone else had this problem?
Do i need a new turbo or am i missing something here?
Does anyone know a specialist or someone that could help or swap it for a recon or new?
HELP HELP HELP
Thank you all
