is my turbo working?

[johnnyoxford]

I hadnt used the 200 tdi much for 2-3 weeks, but took it out a few times whis week, and I just feel it has lost a little bit of power when accelerating.

It still reached same top speeds as begore, but to me it seems more sluggish getting there.

I am wondering if I have a problem with the turbo? I know nothing about them, so was hoping for some advice or anything I could be checking?

clean out the intercooler =free power restoration

try a fuel cleaner in it- it will either work or make it no worse

also check yer hoses between intercooler and turbo etc.... should be 3 of them as well as the flexi
