Yesterday I experienced something strange with the TDI, something that has never happened before.

While driving, somewhere in the middle of the ride - with a warm engine -
I noticed that there was no power at all while accelerating, even though I pushed the pedal to the floor after a while. It took a awful long time before the car realized that I asked for power (aprox. 10 seconds) before the boost came.

I must add that I have never driven so economically before for such a long time, maybe this is normal and recognizable to some of you? Is there is a program that switches off the turbo during long periods of quiet driving to save fuel? Because it seemed like that, consumption was also incredibly low. I'm not sure. There were no fault lights or notifications on the dashboard. It's a turbo with variable geometry.
