MK4 GT TDI 150 Turbo?
« on: 30 March 2010, 13:49 »
Hi All,
Need an answer as getting different information from different people. Can someone tell me if the turbo my car has a variable vain turbo. As debating on getting the turbo cleaning kit from innotec which they state my car is a variable vain turbo but vw are stating it is not so now i am a bit lost?confused. I have also had another mechanic who has stated it is not a variable vain turbo.
The issue:
LIMP MODE.
After going into limp mode then turning the engine off and then back on again the issue resolves it self and the turbo kicks in again. I am not getting any smoke from the back, but I dont think it pulls like a 150 bhp should.

Just talked to someone at PSI and they confirmed it variable vain turbo. So god know what crap vw are advising there customers. Mite call them back and complain. I just find its scary as they are telling customers useless info and they work on the cars everyday.
