I am told once seized it's toast. The waste gate and turbo are 1 piece and repair is $1,500. T.D.I.'s are cheap to drive until they have a mechancial problem.
As a protest I WILL NOT take my Jetta to a VW dealer. I go to local garage at half the price.
Your problem is located behind the ignition switch.Remove the covers of a steering column behind the steering wheel.There is 5 or 6 wires around on black or white plastic switch.Change it.ATT ! Before removing the steering wheel disconect the battery and wait for at list 10 min. to deactivate the SRS airbags.
did you try a blow off if its overboasting with the blow off is it easyer for the turbo to blow the overpressure out and it dont whistle's a suggestion
Hi nick. I have a T5 04 model and recently had the same problem. i was told it was a blown turbo so i had a friend look at it and turbo was fine. got vw to run a diagnostics and it had a broken wire running from the charge pressure meter. replaced for 9 euro. 3 weeks later same problem and it turned out to be a loose plug on the air mass meter. now its perfect again. apparently what happens is that if the engin management is getting a wrong reading from the pressure meter it limits the van to 40 horse power for fear of blowing the engine. whenever i switched the van off and back on the problem would fix itself but as time went on it got worse until complete failure. the wire is located under the coolant resivoir. dont know exactly where though. email me on [email protected] if you need to know more. if it does turn out to be the turbo (which i doubt) then there is a website called CRTurbos that seem to be the cheapest around. but i seen another forum where the turbos were replaced and the problem remained. I suggest first look at the charge pressure meter.
