Hoping for some advice if possible.
My TDI seems to have lost its ‘go’ and although it still rattles along on the flat very well, any sort of incline kills the speed and it has little in the way of power in any gear.
My first assumption is that it’s a turbo related issue and I was therefore wondering if there is any particular order in which I should troubleshoot?
I have had a look at what I think is the anti shudder valve which is next up from the intercooler but I can move the valve easily by hand. There is some wet oil inside the hose (pictured). Is this normal?
I’ve circled where the hose connects to the valve body. This is held on by a sprung clip and although it’s tight to get on and off, the connectIon seems quite loose in that there is play up and down. Is this normal and would it likely cause an issue?
Also wondering if there is a quick way to work out whether it’s a 75 or 90 engine?
Any suggestions much appreciated.
