For some reason my 99 Beetle 1.9TDI lost power going up the freeway. I had the air on and the car wouldn't even pull a small hill unless i downshifted into third gear. After work it seemed ok, but still feels like it doesn't have the power it had. Any suggestions? I did get some fuel at a truck stop not my usual place. Would bad fuel cause this problem? Thanks for the information.
We have 2 '98 TDI's, both with sooting and intake problems, which we've cleaned, and 2 '01's that both had similar problems. What can we do to keep this from happening again?
