Was hoping someone could help diagnose a problem with my Ibiza TDI!

Over the last couple of days I'm finding that the Turbo is struggling, and the power delivery is very jerky when the turbo kicks in. I'm hoping that its just the cold weather causing it, but I wont know if it is until it heats up in a couple of weeks.....which might be too late if i'm damaging the turbo by continuing to run it!

This is the first TDI car I've had so I know jack squat about turbos, so any thoughts would be great!

Cheers,
Craig.

Unlikley that you'll be damaging the turbo on a Diesel with these symptoms - not ideal but nothing that the turbo wont cope with.

Have you tried cleaning the MAF sensor? Probably not 100% identical, but check the link below.

Clean the EGR

What he said - give it a spanking to clean out the exhaust filtery thing.
