Hi everyone this is my first post ever. I live in Montreal and I own a 2004 golf tdi PD. I did a timing belt change recently and am now doing my home work on a possible turbo problem. I'm searching through some of the related threads and decided to introduce myself. This site was very helpful when I did my timing belt change and i'm sure I'll find the right information concerning my possible turbo problem. If not I'll be posting shortly,

Thanks

Welcome! Limp mode is often misdiagnosed as a bad turbo, check to make sure that it's working properly.

I'm new too. I'm having what I guess if the limp problem with my 2003 golf. If I start it up, and proceed on relatively flat ground, the car sort of creeps along until you reach about 18 or so mph, takes about a city block or so to get to that point. It then kicks in and drives normally. I can stop and start without having the same low power start. however if you turn the car off, and restart, it will suffer from the same low power issue. i replaced the fuel filter and had no luck improving the issue.
