Hello been a while since I've been on here mainly due to using the car very little, various reasons such as London traffic and the London ULEZ etc but hey ho.

Owned the car almost 4 years and done less than 10.000 miles, and that includes 2 trips to Scotland and back.

Have had a couple of problems with the car ever since I've had it, one being the ESP sensor which thanks to you guys I eventually sorted. 

But not so much luck with intermittent loss of power which appears to be related to fault code PO234 which as far as i have read is sticking turbo internals making it over boost? for the last 6/7000 or so miles I have been running on Shell V power which seems to have helped a little because I now often only get FAULT PENDING? 

But it can still loose power intermittently and sometimes at very in opportune times. 

Have also tried several so called wonder potions supposedly able to clean the Turbo but as yet no success.

Any tips/help much appreciated as it's getting on my its now and want it fixed.

I've read about the Mr muscle option but compared to some cars I've seen this done on mine seems a real challenge to do.

To be clear mines a 2006 Octavia 4x4 Estate 1.9Tdi. 

On the rare times I drive it I mostly enjoy it but this issue with Turbo really needs sorting.

I'm based in Ilford Essex but would be happy to travel to get it sorted. Thanks Gareth

I have a post from a couple of years back which details this issue and how I resolved it, don't automatically jump to the stuck VNT/Mr. Muscle hypothesis.

 

Because I'm lazy and because this forum's search facility could be better you're going to have to search for it yourself.

 

Search parameters may include my username, relevant fault code, the words "boost, limp" etc.

Hi MicMac thanks i did find it eventually 🤣 i shall investigate the actuator. And update as soon as. Thanks Gareth
