Got a gal down there with an ALH Jetta with low power. The CEL has been on because of a glow plug and now there's something else. She said its about 40 MPH uphill.
Monday she is flying to Mexico for a week so her dad will be able to poke around with it a bit but they need some guidance. She looked over the vacuum lines and saw nothing obvious and there is no black smoke.
Car has somewhere around 200,000 IIRC and I did the TB last spring.
My first thought is a cracked main vacuum pipe at the pump but it could be about anything at this point. Her dad will have a much better clue what to do if he can get this thing scanned. She is in Culver City.
She just said that restarting it clears it so it's limp mode for sure. I'll have her dad look the turbo lever movement.
