Turbo loss

[richandhazel]

No, but it hasn't done it since. Still have the vaccuum hoses to replace but I've been a little tied up with doing the head gasket on the Polo.

Think finally got mine fixed!  Touched red line in 3rd and done 30 motorway miles and not one 'limp'!
It would have gone into limp at around 3000 revs or 75+mph previously.

Took it to a VW specialist in Barnsley today who did a fulll vagcom and amongst other little things it came up with a 'positive deviation'. He had a quick look around and has replaced a hose 'under RH head light correctly' which was loose and he thought had become dislodged when timing belt was done.  Paid £65 and all seems well...................chuffed!

Hi
Just catching up now the site has been re-vamped.
I have the same problem with my mk4 gt tdi 130golf, its only just started on 2 occasions.
All with the exact same symptoms.
I have re-placed the maf(with a genuine vw 1),
Cleaned out the EGR valve and inlet manifold (easy if you follow the step by step instructions postedon here)
The hose from the Intercooler and turbo has been up change.
Going to do a diagnostic check at my local garage on the car tomorrow dont have access to VAG. Will post findings.
Think this leaves me with turbo worries
Just curious to know if your car it chipped or re-mapped as i have found it seems to happen more to cars that are or am i being paranoid??
Will try and look at the N75 boost control valve and hoses while im at the garage.
Fingers crossed

Hi all, i have a '02' 130 gt tdi. Am i wrong in saying the pipe that goes from the bottom of the intercooler goes to the turbo and is made from alloy?

i thought only the tdi 150 had the intercooler

do you mean the pipe that goes infront of the engine?

[sam-civic]

No there is an intercooler on the drivers side behind the front bumper. A pipe comes from the bottom of it and into the drivers side arch and disapears into the engine bay to the turbo im guessing.

well i'm confused as i thought only the 150PD's had the inter cooler, i expect one of the guys with 130's will be able to confirm this.

the inter cooler on mine is located on the passenger side, behind the bumper and in front of the wheel arch.  i'm not 100% sure which way the pipes run, but the only ones i've seen are a thick semi flexible plastic / rubber with metal end connectors.  there is an ABS moulded piece that runs in front of the lump and then back to pipe and into the turbo.  i've never seen the pipes that run to the drivers side and complete the loop, but would assume they are made from the same stuff.

the 130 and 150 both have intercoolers.

The 130 is a side mounted job and the 150 is a Front mounted intercooler

thanks for clearing up the confusion, i expected you'd know the answer!
