Hi all
My 2000 Jetta ran with little problems for a long time......just regular maintenance.
But recently it has less power. Going up hills or accelerating onto freeway seems anemic. You can tell its less power.
But its not in limp mode. I have driven my other jetta in limp mode before....and it barely goes about 55 mph.
This jetta will go up to 80 or 100 mph on freeway........ but in second gear and third going up the hill, seems like a old man......no boost ? Even downshifting to 4th still makes climbing hills difficult. It was not like this before.
Now I did use some old diesel and kerosene before ,.,,, a few months ago...... and a clear prefilter before the fuel filter seemed to catch gunk..........which i changed out.
Could this issue be the air filter, fuel filter, mass aiflow sensor >? Gunked up intake manifold ? intercooler ? N75 ?
Car hasPD 205 injectors, FMIC, EGR delete, VNT 17 turbo....
What should I check or do > Diesel purge the injectors ?
Help apprecciated >>>>>>>>
