sweet finally foud out how to post.....

03 vw golf tdi, turbo not engaging tried turning engine off and on and still nothing. check engine light is on so im thinking over-boost condition. im taking it in on monday to the dealer, g/f had an accident needs body work so im going to get them to scan it for me is there anything i should be asking or expecting to hear? maybe one of you have dealt with this issue.

Just be wary if they tell you it needs a new turbo, they're good at that apparently when really all that's required is a strip down and a good clean, my friends golf gt tdi is in the same boat at the moment and we'll be pulling it apart soon. Also look at the limp mode and low power faqs.

Yeah im thinking something is just sticking cause weve had issues with the egr valve and other things and all it took was a good cleaning and lubeing. thankyou for your response.
