Turbo Problem (50%Power)
« on: 31 October 2009, 15:47 »
Hi,
ive got a problem with my Mk4 TDI PD 100. i was just driving down the road as normal and then i put my foot down and heard a pop sound and after everytime when i put my foot on the exclerater again there was a loud whistler sound and then the emissons workshop light (engine light) come on. i lost all of my power no turbo at all!!!. i Took it to the garage and they put it on the computer and it said it was the air flow mass meter is the problem but we changed it and only got 50% of the power back. Is it the Turbo!!!!
