06 tdi - loss of power!

Post by ASHL3Y »

Ok so I have a 06plate 104ps TDI caddy, I drove upto sheffield today & after a few miles into the journey i seem to lack in power quite badly!

the van has now just ticked over 100k & has full service history, recent oil change etc...

If you use 1/4 - 1/2 throttle you can get it upto -80mph max, but if you floor it then it feels like it bogs down and doesn't excelerate. quite embarsing when you go to overtake & suddenly loose all power :lol:

The van is used hard weekdays all day as I'm a courier so can easily rack up a 1000 miles a week.

so far she's done me proud & I've had the van for 29k trouble free 8) .

any of you lads on here got any pointers as to what it could be?


Cheers Ash

Sounds like an airflow meter!! When they go you are limited to about 70-80 - Your symptoms are classic for the airflow meter being your problem!
