Anyone here have an AAZ engine with experience to regards the turbo system who can help me.
The turbo charger is working because it makes sound and all pipes look ok so there should be no leaks.
What should I be looking for?

Could be turbo spooling sound. But that is normal though right?

Would taking it out and cleaning it solve this issue?

Yes but I wish it was as loud,no when idle its like id does not have a turbo and i have to pull the gas lever a fair bit to hear it
It is ridiculious going uphill haveing to constantly switch between 1st and second it it really annoying

Lol, sounds about right to me. Does the turbo pull well? If so nothing to worry about pal. :wink:

I have a mk4 1.9 tdi my self, tbh not cracking at all up hill or even on flat roads. What do you expect. They very under powered I guess. Mine is 90bhp lol.

No your wrong then you have the same problem that I do.
I don`t believe they would release it like that.

Lol, a peugeot 306 HDI has 90 BHP, but it has more poke than a mk4 1.9 tdi 90 bhp model.
Its the basic range of turbo diesel engine vw did, but it is more reliable than the other tdi engines.
When i bought mine, it had a new turbo fitted at 138,000, its done 154,000 now, with full VW History, 1 owner car too. so i personally dont think they can be anything wrong with it.

I remember a friend of mine had a problem with his mk3 tdi saying it felt underpowered. Turned out to be the wastegate actuator arm was seized and wasn't allowing the turbo to boost properly, just a stab in the dark what it could be.

So how do i test it?
sorry i am really unknowleged when it comes to the turbo
-
I would say you need to get the diagnostic codes read and see what that throws up, that may or may not point you in the right direction on where the issue lie's. Not too clued up on the diesel engines so sorry I can't be more help.
Surely there is a diesel guru on here that can help?!

Spare a thought for us with a 1.9d without any blow :grin:
