Hello i am new to this site but not to diesel motors. I have a good bit of experience with the dodge cummins motors but not so much with these TDIs. i just bought a 1997 vw passat with the tdi with 150000 on it and i cant really here the turbo spooling up and i dont have good power on hills or off the line. Could my turbo be bad since i cant hear it or could it be the EGR valve getting build up. I need imput so i can get this fix because i know its cutting into my fuel miliage. Could someone please direct me what to do and how i go about cleaning the EGR since i never have on these TDIs before. thanks
