Car hissing me off
« on: 26 September 2008, 23:16 »

When i bought my car (150 tdi) last week it was lovely, when i floored it i could hear the air coming from the turbo and the car went well, i hadn't really drove it hard poodled along, tonight i went to go round a car and there wasn't much there, couldn't hear the air noise either  :cry:

Hoping just a hose has come off, but anyone know what i should be checking

Cant see any hoses loose, or split, i was in 2nd last night along a straight and it wouldn't go into the red, was just screaming so had to change gear.

Having it connected to vag techno to have miles to empty enable & vagcom later so hopefully this will throw something up.
