My TDI runs great and has over 185,000 km on the clock, but it does accelerate oddly at times. There's no discernable pattern to the behaviour. Sometimes in smokes under full acceleration and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the acceleration rate sags and then recovers (O2 sensor perhaps), but at other times, it's like the waste gate has slammed shut and it takes off like a scalded cat. Most recently, I was accelerating up an on ramp in third gear, I punched it, and it took off like it was doing a GTi impersonation. On the next on ramp I used, it was back to normal.
Any ideas?
