2002 Golf TDI 4 dr. with 320,000 km on the clock, no major repairs, MAF
changed once about 200,000 km ago, fuel filter and air filter about
due.
Climbing a hill or accelerating up an on ramp at or near full throttle,
occasionally the power just dies. Climbing hills, it actually loses
speed with the pedal mashed. On the flat, it can barely gain speed.
To clear this, I just pull of to the side of the road, turn off the
engine for a few seconds, restart, and everything is fine. Happens
about once a month though the frequency is increasing of late.
MAF screwing up the fuel supply?
Turbo cutting out?
I'm baffled . . .

You're right as I did some checking after my last post and there are a
variety of possible culprits. The LAST thing I want to do is chuck
parts at it. Been there, done that on my last vehicle (Ford). >> Stay informed about: This one has me stumped. |

I had a similar occurance after the fuel filter was changed. That "T"
fitting had a small crack in it and it was sucking air into the system. >> Stay informed about: This one has me stumped. |
