hopefulVR6owner 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 i am having a problem with my 2000 passat tdi just wondered if any general dubbers would know?it has a major lack of power all through out the rev range in all gears, as if the turbo is being stopped from boosting. it is still whistling but no power. i am a bit low on money at the mo as i ahve just moved house. any help would be much appreciated as i am now having to use my vr to get to work and back and with the fuel prices as high as they are it is hitting me in the pocket Link to post Share on other sites

Charged VR 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Try disconecting the air mass meter and give it a run, Air mass meters are very common on these and are getting cheaper from VW as always going wrong! Link to post Share on other sites
