SEAT LEON 1.9 TDi FR 67K
Lack of power when under load, no fault codes stored. After switching the engine off and restarting, the power was restored until the fault reoccurred. Suspect fault due to sticking variable vanes on turbo.
The fault was cured by adding Diesel Turbo Cleaner and Advanced Formula Diesel Treatment into the fuel tank. The car was then taken on an extended road test and has been running fine since.
Thanks to Ewan at Redhouse Garage in Livingston, West Lothian.
Forté's Technical Helpline receives over 300 calls per month. This blog shares solutions for garage workshops on common driveability concerns that can be quickly and effectively treated. The vast majority of those identified are caused by fuel and oil borne contamination formed by natural degradation or via the combustion process. This is a fact of life for internal combustion engines where fossil fuels and oils are used.
