Heavy accleration then no power???

i think if its sticky vanes then limp mode would have hit while accelerating hard, not after. have you had any other symptom? sticky vanes sometimes comes with a slight shudder.

find a tdi spert to fiddle with the over boost. re remapping ecu. I have a 01 2.5 tdi with anaftermarket boost adjuster....i have to be sensable with adjustments...or it goes into limp mode. did a job for a diesel mechanic last week and he said ...bring it in and we will try to de tune that entry into the ecu..........to get more out of the turbo. ps i got a digital fuel adjustment module($285) and hooked it up myself (lots of work) with great results ......can get up hills in third now and still accelerate. Oh and still get 650 to 750 km per 75l tank ..best mod ever!!!. will let u now about results.

Mine only did it a few times, I would just turn off and keep going again. From what I have read its the variable vanes sticking and causing overboost and limp mode.

I don't own that van anymore, my 99 model multi has not done it yet.
