I’m having two issues with my 2001 TDI A2 currently that may or may not be linked.
1. The temperature never gets above 70 degrees on the gauge. I have changed the thermostat and nothing appears to have changed.
2. Under hard acceleration, there is a sudden loss of power. It feels like the turbo is being switched off. I believe it is going into limp mode? Stopping and starting the engine appears to fix the broblem until accelerating hard again.
I’ve searched and found others that have had similar problems. I will be getting the car vault scanned soon and report back. Until then, any suggestions of what might be the cause(s)?
Thanks
Tim
