Title: Power problem with new Golf GT TDI
Post by: d912mv on 20 January 2007, 22:38

Hi,

Yesterday I picked up my new '02 Golf 1.9 GT TDI 150.

When driving it home, the first 20 miles or so were great. I found myself going up a hill on the motorway in the outside lane and powering my way up it. However, I suddenly lost all power and had to slow down and couldn't really get any quicker than 65mph after that.

On getting home, i had a think then went out for another spin - hey presto the power was back. (On reading this forum it seems not too uncommon).  Today again I was on the motorway and lost power again, this time i wasn't doing anything miraculous, just driving along in 5th doing 75mph.

Has anyone experienced this problem? Is it an expensive fix?

Is there a technical name for this problem so i can do some research?

I'm rather pee'd off at the moment and the garage i bought it from 150 miles away aren't being too helpful. I am now thinking my £6k snip may not be so much of a snip.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
