1985 Volkswagen Quantum - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
What could be a problem for a 2015 VW 1.4TDI lossing power.
I had a similar problem with a much older VW. I found that if I would loosen the fuel filler cap slightly, I would hear a hissing sound of air and power would return until I had driven some distance. This was caused by the fuel tank ventilation system not allowing air to enter the tank as fuel was consumed. This can cause enough of a vacuum in the tank to prevent fuel from reaching the engine. Stop the car (with the engine running) and slowly remove the fuel cap. If you hear an air rushing sound, that is the problem.
