I know it's a tough habit to break, but after getting our TDI, I have had to make sure when talking to the wife I use the word diesel or fuel, never "gas" or I might end up with a tank full of it. |

Have a 2001 with 304,000 km. Always loved this car. I have maintained it faithfully. At the moment, I am about 60% through the life of my 2nd replacement timing belt. Use 5/8 of an once of Raycor Cetane booster every fill. What I have noticed recently is a loss of power when I reach the 2800 RPM band. More noticeable up hills. Interestingly enough, I am not getting any warning from the MIL or any other lamp on the dash. I know they are working as they light up on engine start as perscribed. This sort of thing happened at just over 100,000 km a few years ago and was told it was my mass air flow sensor (but I did get a MIL warning on my dash when this happened). That was replaced under the emission warranty. Usually, anytime something is wrong, some lamp would tell me so on the dash. Not his time. Due for an oil change next week - I'll ask the mechanic - just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem? I plan to run this car to 500,000 - I enjoy driving it very much.

Replying to: danstdi (Jul 06, 2009 8:51 am) Also would not hurt to hook up to VagCom and check your IQ (Injection Quality). Additionally, if you have never cleaned your intake-manifold. I would put money on the fact that your intake-manifold needs to be removed and cleaned. (It is a KNOWN issue with running North-American crappy diesel in an EGR-equiped engine.)

Replying to: tdifun (Jul 06, 2009 8:50 am) A question for those far more experienced with diesels than myself, I can't recall what I've read/heard about max mileage and when you can expect to see it. If I'm not mistaken, is it around 40-50K?

Replying to: shrifty (Jul 07, 2009 4:51 pm)  app 410- 425 psi). This in in stark contrast to gasser engines 1,000 to 4,000 miles.
