Hi fellas
When driving at high RPM of late, I've noticed my boost just dies but then settles at a lower speed, what I imagine limp mode feels like/is.
I've also been told prior to driving that my turbo oil return pipe is leaking. Are the two connected?
Anyone recommend a decent place to get this checked out near/in Randburg/Greenside? Preferably not VagSpec.
Thanks
Golf 5 1.9 TDI turbo throttle at high RPM..

I was going to suggest VagSpec but you're not keen on them.
How do you notice the boost dies at higher rpm?

Hi Neuk
I was accelerating and the engine just dies without lifting my foot off the accelerator. I am driving again today and will try to give a more accurate description.
I read somewhere else that it might be the N75 valve, whatever that is.

It almost sounds like a sticky vanes/valve issue where the turbo isn't adjusted as it should but it is difficult to diagnose online without seeing the car.

Re: Golf 5 1.9 TDI turbo throttle at high RPM..
ok, it looks like revving up to high RPMs is fine, but when in cruise control, if I set the speed to lets say 110km/h, and then brake and then resume speed from about 95/100km/h, the engine revs up (harshly) to within a hairs breadth of the set speed of 110km/h and then revs just die after the attempt until I accelerate again. Never had this problem until recently.

That sounds like something you will need to get a professional to look at.Jambalya wrote:ok, it looks like revving up to high RPMs is fine, but when in cruise control, if I set the speed to lets say 110km/h, and then brake and then resume speed from about 95/100km/h, the engine revs up (harshly) to within a hairs breadth of the set speed of 110km/h and then revs just die after the attempt until I accelerate again.
