I have a 1.9L TDI in a Linde forklift that has very low power. I am being told that the engine controller is cutting power back due to low compression in one cylinder? Does this make sense to all of you Volkswagen poeple???? If so HOW can I verify that this is the case?

It's possible, did a mechanic test the compression? You can buy a cheap compression tester yourself and check it. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/compression-test-VW-TDI.htm

I didn't know forklifts used VW TDI engines!

Please let us know what model engine (engine code) you have, it would help with some ideas. Look on the timing belt cover.

Pics? This sounds pretty interesting.
