Hi People A puzzling problem. My TDi Fabia is suberb untill about 65mph in 5th gear when the power suddenly drops off. As if the turbo suddenly cuts out. The power does not return at any speed until I stop the car and turn the engine off. Once it is started again it is fine and has normal good power until the dreaded 65ish mph in 5th. Strange. I have pushed the engine in different gears and seams fine?! I have replaced the fuel and air filter. It feels like a fuel starvation or computer problem but would like some ideas please. This is the 1.9 TDi ATD 2001 engine Thanks Darren

Hi People First time posting. My name is Darren and I am a Fabia tdi 1.9 ATD engine owner. I also produce Biodiesel on a small scale and after recently purchasing the car, I am starting to mix biodiesel as it is a lot cheaper! I am also a good diy man and have so far done the full cambelt service, fixed the fuel flap. So any amature advice I can give, I will! I am currently up to 25%biodiesel with no new problems.
