Lack of fuel at high speed problem

Post by irish71 »

Hi

I have a 2013 Caddy 1.6 TDI that looses power at 70mph.

So far I have changed the diesel pump in the tank and new fuel filter; shows no engine faults at VW!

Any ideas what the issue can be please?

Cheers

Had it a couple of years and no problems until now. No speed limiter.

Does it suffer only at 70mph or is it down in power if you accelerate hard through the gears?

No you could be doing 80 in it and it just drops and dies until ou get down to 50-60 then it pulls back up again.
