I have a 2002 volkswagon jetta tdi! It was

it is a 2.0 litre turbo diesel.

Mass airflow sensors commonly go bad on these vw's and can give you lots of low power problems. If the car has been tuned up and not running poorly I would start there.

I took the car in to Volkswagon

Thanks anyway

I'm afraid you have a broken timing belt.

A car cannot have 2 transmissions.

Possible air flow meter problem get it code read bearing in mind not all code readers will spot it

Don't know much about VW but if it's fine, and it doesn't happen again I wouldn't worry about it. If it does try resetting the ECU by removing the battery terminals and touching the positive lead(red wire) to the negative battery post. It might spark a little, this is just the capacitors discharging, resetting your ECU and starting over. It's like restarting your personal computer

Yes! It's exactly the same car from 1999.5 to 2003.

[yes ]is the simple answer, a turbo starved of engine oil pressure even for a short period of time can blow the turbo; fit a new or a good second hand turbo.[hint]when testing a second turbo put your finger inside the turbo and spin it .a good turbo should spin quite easly for 3/4seconds with no noise.hope this helped you.adrian

you have a bad mass air flow sensor. unplug the mass air flow sensor, the car will run normal if the sensor is bad
