Hello TDI experts,

I have a Golf IV with an ALH engine.

Power: 66 kW.
Mileage: 125,000 km.
Stock chip, and no performance enhancements.

Seit einiger Zeit habe ich das Problem, dass im 5. Full throttle.
'The usual acceleration is absent. It takes considerable effort to reach a top speed of 175 km/h. It feels like you constantly have to ease off the accelerator and then immediately press it down again. This problem has existed for several thousand kilometers, and it doesn't seem to have gotten worse. If you rarely drive on fast highways, you might not even notice the issue.'

I performed a diagnostic test using VAGCOM and recorded the following values.

1948 2050 70.1
1948 1969 70.5
1948 1836 64.5

I can only conclude that I have a highly fluctuating boost pressure. I have already checked various things:

- VTG adjustment is common.
- The vacuum connections appear to be sealed.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,
