Vw golf tdi turbo problems

roughly if you are doing 3000rpm you will be doing approx. 100 klms/hr or 60 mph at 120km/hr you would be around 3200rpms.; Remember this will be in o/drive or 5th

Best place to start is eBay vw turbos can range from $250.00 to $700.00 but it depends on your model and engine size. You can look up vw golf websites and I believe you can even by them cheaper through club web sites

That's a (relatively) common problem with mk4 TDIs. Likely causes are the MAF (= Mass Air Flow) sensor in the air-intake (directly behind the air-filter) and/or the N75 Boost Pressure Controle Valve.

You should have your car's ECU read for faultcodes to troubleshoot the cause. It might also be useful to create several diagnostics logs with VAGCOM while test-driving.

This can be done by a mechanic using VAGCOM or by a VW dealer. See http://www.tdiclub.com/ (and it's forum) for more information and perhaps help.

Why do you think it's your turbo? Are you losing power?

check the rubber pipes are not collapsing ,they run from the air filter to the turbo if they appear ok then replace the turbo

a GTI has to have turbo and intercooler to be called a GTI.
So, all GTI's have turbo

if you have a pd engine and you say that it miss fires i would change the wire loom to the injectors if it persists the air flow meter is on the blink, has you car ever gone into a limp mode status were you couldn't rev then check your turbo ,this may sound strange but just had a 150bhp tdi which was remapped with a very simular problem

I have a 1999 VW golf tdi with intermittent loss of power. The turbo will cut in for a few seconds, then die forcing you to change gear and get a small boost again. The turbo will not boost much past 2200 rpm. The cars computer has been plugged in at the garage and does not show any problems. Various people have said, replace turbo, air mass meter or just simply wash turbo filters in WD40. Can anyone help?

Maybe there is a hole in one of the parts.
