Help!!! My 1998 (115hp - 150,000 km) 9-3 TDI seems to be lossing power - the acceleration seems around 70% of what it used to be and going up long hills on the moterway (starting at 120kph) i really start to lose momentium even with the foot to the floor.

Any suggestions??? Thanks

Add a couple of bottles of Diesel cleaner in a full tank - twice.
Give the car a run of a couple of miles at high revs.

Is the CEL working ? My car went into limp home mode which was fine until the 120Kph mark when I had no power what so ever. Pootling around town was fine. In my case it was the Exhaust Gas Regulator giving the error.
