    Rainy Day Problems!

    I'm hoping that a fellow (unfortunate) B6 1.9 TDI owner might have experienced a similar problem and therefore be able to offer some advice. Basically, since last Wednesday, whenever it rains the car seems to suffer from what can only be described as a case of the worst turbo-lag ever (in...

Basically since getting the car last September...
