Seem to have the old turbo problemo.. but wondered if the specifics might pin down the issue or whether its still a mechanic job to pinpoint it.
54 plate Leon TDi 110.
41K on the clock.
Up to 18 months ago, lots of motorway driving. Avg about 12K a year.
Past 18 months. Mainly a couple of miles a day city driving. Very rarely get her above 35MPH
So.. Wednesday night.. first motorway driving for a while. Gets to 70mph then tries to accelerate and practically nothing there. Later on, listened out the window. No turbo whistle. No turbo.
Yesterday.. back to the commute. Turbo back in action again. Didn't push her.. but it was back when needed.
This morning. Cold start. Turbo still there, but I'm noticing that at the point it kicks in theres like a judder or wobble in the acceleration. The kind of feeling that at a very low speed would indicate a stall.
Apart from that, no problems. No dash lights or anything. Only thing out of the ordinary is a few drops of oil on the drive over the past couple of weeks (never ever dropped any oil before).
Last serviced in August. Oil still on the level. Regular dealer servicing since new.
So.. any ideas or still just anything from the:
MAF
N75
MAP SENSOR
STICKY VEINS
DODGY turbo
..list??
