Hey guys,
I just recently starting having this problem where it sounds like boost pressure may be leaking. I have a 2006 Jetta TDI with 121,000 km. Its had a stage 1 Mikro tune since 109,000. At 1800 rpm when I step on the accelerator the turbo spools up very quickly and almost sounds like a blow off valve. Like boost pressure is leaking out. and it stops at 2,000 rpm and then the car takes off as normal. Under normal driving it will not make this sound, Only when I request full power. I’m also getting horrible fuel economy. 500-600km per tank. It was bad before but its just becoming really bad. I know the winter diesel sucks but this is becoming a big concern. There is no extra smoke at full throttle and there isn’t any less. There seems to be a slight loss of power going on for the past few months, Very gradual loss of power. In the rain the tires could break lose in any gear at full throttle. Now I can barley get any wheel spin in 2nd gear. Any help is appreciated, Thanks
