Hello.
I'd like to get an expert opinion on my Volkswagen Golf IV TDI with 90 horsepower, manufactured in 1998, engine code: ALH.
'For some time now, I haven't been able to reach my maximum speed; above 160 km/h, I actually go faster going downhill.'
At this point, one can feel a wave-like power loss occurring at intervals of 1 second.
Acceleration is very sluggish above 2500-3000 RPM.
However, there is hardly any noticeable loss of power in the city, and it offers good torque at low RPMs!
Does that point more towards a faulty lambda sensor or a boost pressure valve?
Thank you very much for your help!
Greetings.
Dirk.
