VW 1.9L TDI Diesel - Clogged Intake Port

If you're experiencing loss of acceleration, sluggishness on hills, low power under loads. These are symptoms
of a clogged intake port on the VW 1.9 liter TDI engine. If you have around 170,000Km, and have not had an
intake cleaning, more likely your intake port looks something like the one above. Airflow to the engine must
pass through this port, and as the port becomes clogged, airflow is reduced, the engine loses efficiency, and
power output drops. It's like when you try to breathe through a small hole. That's how your engine feels. This
is a gradual process often taking years and tens of thousands of kilometers to occur. Most owners won't notice
the gradual loss of power, but once cleaning has been carried out, WOW!! What a difference. Port cleaning is
not a simple procedure, but it is a necessary one. To do a complete and professional job, one must remove
the entire air intake manifold, related hoses, electrical and vacuum lines. Properly done, it takes from 3-5 hours,
depending on the amount of carbon deposit. The cost for labour, chemicals and the required parts, is usually
$250-400. The returns in both power and efficiency makes it well worth the cost, your TDI will feel great after.
