Hi, got a 2014 T.5.1 I've had from new. It's a T32 4 motion, Kombi and I absolutely love it. Got approx 118,000 miles on the clock and for first 9 years never had any issues. Since then been having varies problems, limp mode, loss of power, computer throbbing when turning on, dash flickering, abs warning on and off... had a new turbo fitted over a year ago which seems to have rectified limp issues but lack of power now and then and other stuff is doing my head in! It's been to various garages who can't find anything wrong as issues come and go and they only ever plug the thing in. Currently, I can be driving down the road and all of a sudden I hear a deep droaning sound, and van almost surges back as if it's chained to a tree or something. The Abs light comes on but drives ok, although lacking power!
Last week it did it on and off during a 5 hour drive, sometimes cruising along happy at 70, other times struggling to get past 50 going up an incline.
Sometimes during town, pulling away in 2nd or 3rd over roundabouts it would take a second or two before any acceleration would occur! Then other times absolutely normal!
Any help, or even what thread to look at / post more specifically would be much appreciated!
Apologies for the long waffle!
