My vento 1.9 TDI keeps loosing power on acceleration. Its like the turbo is not boosting. It does not happen all the time but quite a lot. If I let off the gas and then put it back on the boost will come back for a few seconds then die again. Can any one help me out please.

I need the engine code to be able to look up information that is specific to your engine. A 3 letter
code on the timing belt cover. ALH for example.

If too much boost is produced, the engine computer cuts power by reducing the amount of fuel that
is injected. Or, you could have a problem with the boost control valve.

Once I know your engine code, I can provide specific info. Have the ECM scanned to see if any fault
codes are stored that might help with the troubleshooting.
