The problems im having with the car sound normal having read tons of posts of a similar nature, ie started with loosing power under heavy load in high gears (overtaking in 4th or 5th and loosing power) and has now moved on to what appears to be permanent limp mode. was looking at spending a few hours tomorrow taking it apart and cleaning everything i can find to clean, inlet, egr valve etc. was also going to try and get the turbo off to clean that aswell but am i right in thinking the tdi 90 doesn't have the problematic VNT system that the tdi110 has???
after reading post after post stating that a sticky VNT was the most common cause i was all ready to give this a clean when i spotted a post hidden away that appeared to suggest the difference between the 90 and 110 was the lack of VNT on the 90??? is this right? and if so is it worth taking the turbo off? is there anything there that could be cleaned up to help the problem?
I've had vag-com on the car and i forget the exact code and wording but recognized the fault as being the same as most people have posted up. will check it again tomorrow and post it. the car has covered high milage, 130k so im expecting to have alot of cleaning to do but the VNT bit has stumped me abit now.
any ideas?
