I own a 2003 Polo 1.4 TDI which has given me excellent service until a few months ago. The car has now done some 53,ooo Km and has been driven hard but respectfully (of turbo etc). Over the course of a few days it seemed as if the car has been emasculated: it has lost around 15-20% of its power - I have to gear down to 4th on a mild up-hill - and occasionally seems to 'lose' the turbo completely, ie. no turbo kicks in as it should around 2,500 revs. VW dealer has keeps telling me that nothing shows up on the diagnostic - great help! The car also is much noisier than it used to be (perhaps 50% louder). I am desperate to know if others have experienced this, and what should I do...?!
Thank you
