Hello all, I hope you can help me I have a ford galaxy 1.9 tdi 2003 with the pdi engine , basically a sharan in a different coat, I love the vehicle had its 6 years.. over last year its started too loose power when going up the rev range, just goes flat... changed so far..

Egr
Maf
Boost pressure sensor
Air filter
Fuel filter
The injector loom

It needs a clutch in next year and don't wanna scrap it due to not working fully and become unviable to throw more money at..

Please tdi owners your my only hope..

Cool, didn't get those in the US, do you have vagcom or a place to get the car scanned with vcds? If we're going to troubleshoot this it would be nice to start with a scan of any/all codes the car is throwing.
How are the vacuum lines looking?

Can you move the turbo actuator through it's range of motion and does it feel smooth while moving?

I tried vcds but couldn't understand it
Try youtube for vids on how to use vcds to check live data, boost requested vs acutal, maf specified vs actual etc. No point in just throwing parts at it, just throwing money away.

How do I add a image?
Click the three horizontal bars in the top left corner, click "media" then "add media" and upload your pics to the server. Then the pic is saved in "your album" copy and paste the link url into this thread

You have a turbo overboost code and electrical fault codes for the mass air flow sensor (MAF) and the boost pressure sensor (MAP).

I would suggest clearing the codes and see which ones come back immediately, and after driving the car.

I suspect the loss of power is caused by limp mode due to turbo overboost. We have a diagnostic guide for that:

I'll have a read. Thank you
