Consumer Description

2000 VW JETTA TDI- TURBO DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK FOR PAST 6-8 MONTHS. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY ON ANY HILLS, INCLUDING ON ENTRANCE RAMPS, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE, BUT HAS OFFERED EXPENSIVE REPAIRS INCLUDING REPLACING MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, SOME TYPE OF VALVE IN THE TURBO, FOR EXAMPLE. ALSO NOTED IS THE VEHICLE CAN INTERMITTENTLY PROVIDE SOME DIESEL BOOST- SEEMS ONLY WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. AND THE FUEL FILLER NECK INTERIOR DOOR HAS BROKEN OFF SOMETIME IN THE PAST YEAR. IS THIS RELATED? IS THIS SAFE? *LA
