Loss of power CRD in Australia number 2

Hi,

We experienced the loss of power which happened all the time, it turned out to be a split pipe.

It has happened again, this time there is no acceleration at all, just crawling along. To reset it, all that has to be done is pull over, turn the car off and it is fine for a while longer. No pipes are loose or torn this time!

The problem is becoming more frequent now, I am leaning towards and electrical fault as mechanical faults seem to be a more hard fault, i.e a consistent fault, I read further up that the turbo is variable vane, is this electronically controlled or just from the wastegate, and does the car computer hold onto all codes set by the car? No engine check lights have appeared for any of the times of loss of power.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

i brought a 2008 68000 mile jeep patriot 3 days ago driving it home I got up to 80mph and then the vehicle lost all power it would still pull but very slowly, turned it off and started it up again and it was fine until again I hit 75/80 mph the power cut out once again, turned it off started up again and nursed it home got my local garage to plug it in turns out it was over boosting looking like seized actuator does this mean new turbo or replacement actuator?

Hey PATRRIOTBEAMER,

I am sorry to hear about your recent experience with your Patriot. Did you have any CEL/MIL lights illuminated or any stored DTCs?

Jeep and it's dealers neither give a crap or know anything about this engine and, if you listen to a dealer, they will take a lot of your money by going through a parts replacement bonanza. Jeep's diagnostic software is crap and does not show half of what you could get from VAGCom if it were in a VW.

Not worth repairing a turbo. A remanufactured one is cheap and comes with a warranty. The labor costs in taking a turbo off and attempting a repair will be more than a replacement. If you are in the UK, you can get a reman from Turbo Solutions in Durham cheap with a 2 year warranty.

If the oil has been changed at the correct intervals (and the correct oil used) and levels not allowed to drop, then look at vacuum, boost sensor and pipes before replacing a turbo. The turbo on these VW engines does not have a conventional N75 valve and the vacuum for the engine is controlled from a multimode solenoid (just like a MK5 Golf) that (unlike the one on a Golf which is on the bulkhead) is located beside the radiator.
