Description of the problem	Intermittent loss of turbo power during low speed acceleration. I brought the vehicle to vw of quad cities in davenport, ia on 2 may 2014. Service manager reported that the problem could not be replicated by a vw service technician. The problem occurred again on 5 may 2014 and was reported to the service manager. Again, the problem could be replicated and was return to me. I departed the vw service area and while driving away the problem resurfaced in the vicinity of the vw dealership. I returned immediately to the service center and asked to have a technician ride with me to experience the faulty condition. The vw service technician was then able to recognize a problem with the turbo locking up a low speeds. Upon return from the test drive, parts were ordered to make repairs. I was allowed to depart with my impaired vehicle while awaiting parts. The car's turbo failed again on 8 may 2014 at approximately 8:20 am while approaching the i-74 bridge over the mississippi river from iowa into illinois. I called the service department to notify the service manager that i was bringing the car directly in for service since the vehicle's propulsion was severely restricted without the turbo boost.
