Does my Volkswagen Caddy have a problem with its turbo?
How are you able to tell if a turbo is not working on a Volkswagen caddy 1.9 diesel? My van is losing power and smoking when I rev the engine. It also wants to stall when I try to pull away.

Could be a loose intercooler hose or something more serious with the turbo. I would recommend getting the van checked by a Good Garage. You can find a local one here: good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/
