VW Jetta 2008 Tdi 2.0 - Under-revving - chammy

I experienced a loss of power while some way from home, the car would not rev above 3000 making over-taking impossible. After I stopped for 10 minutes the problem disappeared and hasn't recurred for 6 month,s until this morning. Same thing again, after the car was stopped for a few minutes, the problem disappeared. A local garage mentioned this as a VW problem concerning the turbo-charger. Has anyone else experienced this?

Classic symptoms of an over boost problem caused by sticking vanes in the turbo. The loss of power is itself not a fault, but safety protection to prevent engine damage. This is a common problem on cars that have done low mileage or have been driven too gently.
