Loss of power

Recommended Posts

I have w reg Passat tdi 115ph PD-----runs really well in the low rpm range----but on the motorway around (75mph+) when I want to overtake there is an obvious lack of power---put my foot down and nothing, the car does start to build up speed but much too slowly, also I always had a little bit if turbo lag---would this be associated with the power problem??----car has 130000k on the clock, regularly serviced.

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to Tyresmoke 169144-ok.gif

This is more than likely the MAF sensor (Air Mass Meter). £75 from your local VW dealer plus a £25 refundable deposit when you take your old one back.

If you do a search on the Passat forum for "MAF", you'll find a lot of people with this problem and replacing the MAF sensor fixes it.
