Volkswagen Golf Plus 06 Reg 1.9TDI - Has the turbo gone? - Justine

To be honest I've not had much luck with this car and I'm beginning to regret the day I bought it! Anyway, it was being driven today, the diesel was rather low and I was looking for a garage when something went pop at the exhaust end. The car then lost power and the exhaust warning light came on. It's still driveable but just has no power in at all and does sound like the turbo has gone on it. It's a 2006 06 reg with 35,000 miles on the clock.

Hello Justine I wonder this has something to do with the DPF filter? The turbo shouldn't have gone at a four year old car.The car has only done a low mileage.

Maybe somebody else can come in here to give you a bit more advice.

Before you condemn the turbo ,I would suggest that the air intake system be looked at.An air hose may have split or come off.This will cause the turbo to malfunction and create a power loss.hth

Thanks for your replies. The one thing I forgot to mention was that there was a definite pinging noise before loss of power.
