Help, my 2001 VW beetle will not go faster that 60 mphs.  On wet rainy days, it will not even do 60...
I have removed and cleaned the intake.  I also replace timing chain, however, I could not set the timing.  The car has 210,000 on it.  Diesel Turbo TDI....

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
