Hello!
Yesterday I received a custom 'Stage 1' Tune and has woken up the engine but STILL is very underpowered.
The main question I have is if my speculations are correct on the problem I believe is causing it or any feedback you guys might have to be causing the problem.
The engine seems like it's struggling for air.
- clogged intake? EGR? (Mechanic has told me it was done at 250,000km but he isn't sure)
- Glow plugs? (The car can 'Roll Coal' when rev'd high enough. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsl2JVnM5mE)
- Bad turbo? (Although my mechanic has told me when you look under you can see the turbo is a bit seized I still can hear and hit boost noticeably.)
Some things to consider:
No CEL (there was one for Negative Boost Charger or something like that, but I replaced all the vacuum lines and turned out to be the one leading from the back of the turbo to the N75)
It's a ALH, 2001 Manual Beetle.
Has 309,000 kms.
Thanks for you help! Any feedback would be amazing.
