I seem to be getting a loss of power when driving in 5th gear, Upwards of 60-70MPH, Car goes into limp mode.  After reading through the site, I thought it could be sticky turbo vanes, or maybe something needing cleaned out. I since noticed the hose coming out of the top of the engine had split. (no idea what it's called) I don't know much about cars to be honest, and wondered if this would cause the problem. 

 

I had a friend check for Vag fault codes. 19558 and 17965

Tried to attach a pic. Thanks. 

 

 

 

Would expect very poor running as this represents a massive leak. As it is after the MAF sensor this sensor will be providing misleading information to ECU. It should be a simple fix. There could still be other less obvious problems as well but try sorting this first.

Thanks, I just found this thread too.

Does anyone know how I find the part number for the split breather hose coming out the crankcase? I have tried searches, eBay etc.. No joy yet. Thanks.

I just replaced mine ironically and used this place on ebay they asked after purchase for me to email them reg or vin for them to make sure I get right part and I did (the same one in ad) for my 1.9TDi 90 (non PD). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191107955143
