    Anyone know any good mechanics in limerick. My 130bhp diesel passat has lost all its power. I suspect a turbo issue or possibly EGR but I don't have the knowledge or equipment to try and tackle it myself.

    Happened my golf before. Brought it to my local mechanic and sorted it. Only charged me 20quid. It was a problem with the egr valve

    Not enough info.. is it losing power on inclines, or has it 'absolutely' no boost/power,.... Could be as simple as a tiny hole in vacuum pipe or failed return valve or as serious as failed turbo!? p.s EGR symptoms could be only losing power/boost on sharp acceleration or inclines.
