Hi Guys, new here and yes i have a problem... hope you can help / advise. I have a tdi 90 mk4 golf. and recently it started behaving very oddly. At start it is extremely slow, like the turbo isnt workign at all. I have to rev the engine to about 3.5k revs and suddenly the turbo feels like it has kicked in and power is restored. I have to do this every time i start and stop the car. However, when the power is restored it is still not as it was and i struggle to go up steep hills and excelleration is alot worse thatn it was. Is there somethign obvious i need to change or look at? any help appreicated before i start taking it apart and cleaning changing oil etc. I'm thinking it's a MAF issue, ECU and or turbo problem. Thanks for reading Benza:cool:

hello all, i am not technical, so dumb it down for me , thanks Just want to thank you in advance for your help. I have a VW Golf GT TDI (115bhp), 2001 plate (mrk 4) For a while now i have experienced a loss of power. It has not got the same bite as it use to have. I drove my mates car (same model but a 2000 plate) and the power difference, between his and mine, is next level...my car would struggle to beat any car at any lights. On motorways it is really bad...whenever i hit a hill the car will struggle to get to 50/55mph. Even the simple every day hills it struggles. can some one help.....

Hi guys, I'm new here and really appreciate your time. I have a VW Golf 1.9 TDI which has a power loss issue. After driving for approximately 20/30 minutes my car will start to lose power, especially when in and around roundabouts, driving at over 2500rpm or driving uphill. In the last week I have replaced the air filter, air flow meter and done an oil change. I had a brand new battery approximately 2 months ago (which is roughly when my problems started). One of my mates hooked up his laptop and found a fault with the MAF which I have since replaced but have not yet had the errors removed - I'm going to see him again tomorrow. It also had an error relating to Cylinder 1 but he was sure this was due to the MAF not putting enough air in. This morning, for example, I drove 16 miles before any of the symptoms started but once they kicked in the remaining 40 odd miles were a nightmare! The only thing I haven't done yet, which I can do myself, is replace the fuel filter and check the plugs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Michael
