I googled it and hit this:

Yes, it pretty much confirms turbo/N75/vacuum hose problems.

I'd say do the following:

  1. Check all vacuum hoses, esp. to the turbo VNT actuator from the N75 valve.
  2. Check/replace the N75 valve and wiring. As said above, they are not expensive.
  3. Try manually moving the VNT actuator up and down. On a 1.9, that's best from below with the undertray off. I *think* that if you have VAG-COM handy and do an output test you can drive the N75 (and so the actuator).

Which is pretty much what is said above. All of those are easy DIY things. Dropping & cleaning the turbo a bit harder- and I've never done it so can't comment.

Have a look at this.

Splendid.

OK, next question, I am reading about N75 valves now and there seem to be about a million different types and a lot of chaff on forums surrounding what the difference between them is. I also seem to have broken TDIClub.com - it's stopped working at the moment.

The same parts seem to be used across lots of VAG engines, petrol and diesel turbos.

What is the difference between the letters? J and C and H and so on?

Dunno, sorry. ISTR that you can change the N75 with the other control valve for testing, or apply 12v and blow through it. I'd probably just go and get one from the dealer though.

Not in the case of my 90bhp non-PD Mk4 Golf TDI, it wasn't - that was suffering with intermittent power loss like this one appears to be, and this was cured with a new MAF.

It also made it *really* economical. :-D

*cough*

(No, I'm not choking on the fumes)

The very same lump is fitted in our Fabia.

As others have said, quite possibly the N75 - like the MAF, these should perhaps be made a service item, as they do tend to go wrong periodically.

As I've said elsewhere, I had similar problems with my Mk4 Golf TDI estate - not the one I've just got rid of, but the one now owned by Pater.

That turned out to be a faulty MAF in the end.

Once you've sorted this, get him a cheapo tuning box for Xmas (1) - has made the Fabia a lot more grunty, and no running problems so far (2)...

(1) =A315 off eBay (2) It's done about 3.5k now with this in place, and no issues.
