Hi everyone.
I bought my 2000 Jetta in 2004 (88,000 km) and has been a bit of a love/hate relationship. I love the fuel economy in the summer but winter driving, carbon build up, and limp mode, have been very frustrating. Car is at 173,000 km now.
Lately I've been getting a cel during heavy acceleration (driving up a hill or reaching highway speed). The car does not go into limp mode and the cel will go out after a few driving cycles.
In 2006 (127,000 km) the engine had really poor acceleration, so I had the intake manifold, and egr de-carboned. Current low end acceleration isn't great, but I'm guessing cel problem might be stuck turbo vanes when the car tries to reach higher rpms.
A code reader would be a big help, but where should I start troubleshooting?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
