Broke down earlier, was overtaking no problem then all of a sudden the engine backed off and i lost around 50/60 % of power at least, it felt like there was no turbo boost at all..
I limped into layby, waited a few minutes then tried engine again, revved it and turbo whistle was there again, drove it round laybe and seemed fine.
AA then arrived he plugged in his diagnostic machine in and it bought up a code 17965, relating to "Turbo Pressure Control" problem
I was planning a lengthy trip to London which wasnt advised even tho engine was running fine again, he checked air pipes (briefly) and all ok.
Car ran fine back home, though i drove very gingerly just in case!
My question is:
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Is it worth taking to VW dealer even though car running fine now, will they still pick up that fault code?
If it is the boost control sensor, how much approx?
Appreciate any help, this has now messed up my bank holiday w/end
