JohnnyB_300TDI Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Check that the air filter is clean. Check the manifold gasket and hoses around the engine for signs of oil leaking. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikemadd Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 i had a look there fine but i think my turbo is stuffed.its got a briken fin and is leaking oil into the intercooler. i know this would cause a lack of power but would that lead to very low mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Maybe, but if the impeller is fked you need to change it anyway so do that first and see if it improves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Turner Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi If turbo does not work at optimum you have to use more right foot to achieve performance, so fuel consumption will be hammered. Those figures sound like my missis round town trying to race GTI's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it off ebay about a year ago... the bloke spend 4 weeks get off his ar&e before he sent it me - so in the end I bought another.. Paid about £80... I'd get rid of it for half that, if your interested.. You'll still need to buy a gasket though I'm in Norwich.. If your interested - you can ping me a message via the forum... (I think!)
