scan it for codes ! does it chuck out loads of black smoke ? if so you have the common tdi boost pipe leak/split

99.9% sure it will be boost leak, the 150 is notorious for blowing pipes off. This may be down to the vanes sticking in the turbo though...

Most likely one of the intercooler pipes is hanging half off

The lugs wear down meaning they move about.  Long term solution is to replace the pipes
