VW Bora TDi problem
Discussion
I have a problem with my work hack. It is a 2001 model VW Bora TDi 115PD 6-speed.
The problem is as follows: When I accelerate from both stanstill or on the move, in any gear, the car will pull 'cleanly' if I use about 1/4 throttle. If I try and use full throttle, the car accelerates as normal until around 2500rpm where the power seems to drop off. (boost??) At this point if I try moving the accelerator pedal position, I can sometimes acheive the original level of acceleration acheived when using 1/4 throttle.
I thought I would pass the question over to the PH massive before I contact the dealer and receive the usual response 'You will have to book it in Sir' routine.
Anybody out there who has experience with these engines?
TIA
