Hi all
have been having momentary aloss of power (1.9tdi) while under load at highish revs(almost like blocking jet on a petrol)could it be that?
not knowing mutch about the heavy oil engines thought it would be wise to ask on here.
seems to have started after I filled up at Settle maby thats the cause!
or could it be a turbo prob?
will try a injector cleaner and see if that has any affect
cheers

Have you checked all of the electrical connectors?

I presume it's an electronic TDI. Got an engine code?

Might be an upset ECU in which case you're into VW dealers to retrieve engine fault codes...... the OBD socket is still on the engine, isn't it?

ECU's rarely fail.
See answer in other post in Tech forum.
