Our BEW Jetta loses power turning a corner, left or right. The power drops some, then after mile or so it returns. If you turn it off and re-start the power returns. I tried a spare N75 and no changes. No CEL. Maybe lift pump? I have a spare, may try that next.

I know, was in the wrong one when posted. We have 4 Passat TDIs and one Jetta TDI. Not sure how to delete this post.

Meh, it's still a PD - the underlying powertrain is the same for the most part.

When the power loss occurs, what is your fuel level in the tank? If the tank is right up full, does it still have the same issue?

Does the check engine light come on, or have you scanned the car for codes?
