Earlier this year my Jetta, a PCZ, started to shudder on the highway, pulled aside, wrecked it to the firm only to find out that one of the piston chambers had lost compression and I would require an engine rebuild. My car remained at the firm for 2mths+ until they awaited word from Germany as to if they could foot the bill for the parts n rebuild. Luckily I got it done at a total cost of $2,500.00 for labour and with a 6mth warranty. NOW, on a couple occasions, when it's time for the Turbo to engage the seems to lose power as soon as the RPM goes over 3000. So far I think it's happened on 4 occassions, all when I've left home after the car's been parked overnight.
Any advice before I go in to Best Auto and get on like meh usual self and loud dem up?...lol... It just seems like it's from one to the next with this car...
It seems you guys know alot about the workings and intricacies of the VW engines.....thanks in advance for any useful info....

The 3000 rpm limitation is because the car senses a problem with possibly a few parts. If your supercharger is not engaging properly the car will not let you rev over 3000. Another possibility is the flap in the intake that switches air between the supercharger and the turbo might be stuck. The car knows these things and goes into a sort of failsafe mode.
Easiest way to diagnose would be with a Ross Tech VCDS cable. You can also check for coolant leaks. The clutch that engages the supercharger is part of the waterpump and if the pump is going the symptoms can look like supercharger issues.
Neither of these scenarios is as bad as an engine rebuild though. If I had to guess without looking at the car I would bet it's a supercharger clutch problem requiring the waterpump to be replaced.
What's the colour of your coolant?
