1997 Passat TDI, Turbo just "turns off"

Nov 13, 2004 1 Replies

I have a 1997 Passat TDI. After driving for a while (engine is nice and warm), if I put the engine under much load (like going up a hill), the Turbo will just stop working.


- I can no longer hear the Turbo whine



- the power drops significantly



Could this be emission related ? some sensor not right ?


-- Thanks, Andrew


No. No. You were warm and now you are getting colder...
