2000 Golf, 118k, 5 spd, 48 mpg - no mods. New vacuum lines, new timing belt kit, no fault codes (VAG COM), no problems with N75 (nkda), clean intake manifold (EGR too), clean snow screen, new fuel filter, new transmission fluid (Redline MTF), clean MAF, timing in the middle of the upper portion of the graph (70) and the IQ is at 4.0
Limp mode before cleaning intake (overboost) & surging boost after cleaning intake = sticky vanes, carbon build up in the turbo. I have read & researched for weeks on this forum (and others) and come to the conclusion that soot & carbon in the turbo account for many of the problems with similar characteristics being experienced by myself (and other TDi owners).
I have looked around for alternative cleaning methods for a carbon packed turbo and came across the Innotec Turbo Clean Set (UK). Also, another fella stated he used Easy Off oven cleaner (wow). Both of these methods only require disconnecting the down tube from the exhaust side of the turbo, filling the turbo with chemical (literally), actuating the vanes, waiting an hour and rinsing it out. Anyone else have info on this? Links to Innotec, other forum provided. Thx.
