Today when driving my 2001 TDI with 229k on it through some long inclines and hills/mountains in Tennessee on a road trip we experienced a sudden power loss. The cruise was set at 73 mph and we had no trouble coming from Kansas City the last two days of driving, then all of a sudden we were going up a long incline and the speedo started to drop a little bit. After noticing that, we turned off the cruise and reset it and it was doing the same thing. It seemed like there was no power really or acceleration. We drove the rest of the way and even in 1st-4th gears there seemed like there was no power or acceleration. On flat ground we could cruise fine at 73-75mph no trouble, it was just inclines or trying to accelerate. No engine codes were thrown and everything seems normal other than that.
No idea what this could be, maybe a turbo valve got stuck? Or maybe limp mode? Any idea what this could be or what things to check to find the problems. Thanks in advance.
