Hi all, just got a mk4 golf gti 1.8t today. really pleased with it apart from one thing.
We went into town today and whilst driving through traffic in first gear crawling along at tickover the car started kangarooing, dip the clutch and rev and its fine then does it again, it does it in second too below 1000 rpm. if you dip the clutch while its happening the engine runs really lumpy until you rev it. under normal driving its fine, no missfire and smmoth acceleration.
So, is this a common thing? I've done a search but couldn't find anything with the same symtoms.
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Need to get it hooked up to vag com or a fault code reader :wink:
-
Have you access to vag-com if so get it scanned and see what fault codes you get thrown up sounds like maf :undecided:
-
thanks for the quick replies.
It just so happens that i have vag com but it was for my old laptop and my new one with windows vista doesn't seem to be compatible with the version i have 409. theres no engine light coming on so don't know if there will be any faults stored?

i'l try to send you a link mate what you have to do is create a comm port as your using usb and set a free port in the settings and run it as administrator
-
i can run 409 but it closes after a min and says its encountered a problem and needs to close
-
hmm strange
-
i have 504.1 too and thats the same. I haven't tried it on this car yet as i only got it today so will give it a go tomorrow.
And hopefully sort the problem with the car! :cry:

Could well be worth doing as you say :smiley:
-
Well, thats something for me to check tomorrow.
Seems that it could be something to do with that, thing is, the car had been in the guys garage for a week, he brought it out when i looked at it then i played with every switch and window with ign on. when we came to start the engine the battery was flat and it reset the clock and door locks kept going up and down so maybe the learnt settings of the tb had been lost?
-
:smiley: well i did this to mine after bad idle, mines a 1.6 btw, but the tb's were clean-ish but the breather pipes needed cleaning, did that put back and idle was perfect :smiley:

Ok, so checked with vag com this morning, turns out that if i run it as an administrator it works fine.
so, i had 3 fault codes stored:
17705 PRESSURE DROP BETWEEN TURBO AND THROTTLE VALVE (CHECK DV!) P1297 - 35-10
17545 P1137 - 35-10 shareware so no description
16514 P0130 - 35-00 shareware so no description
i've cleared the codes and so far this morning it is driving perfectly, I've heard about dv problems before with other cars - could this be the problem?

thanks steve_pd for that.
Well, done about 15 miles today including slow driving and the car has been faultless. i did take the dv off the inlet pipe this morning to see is it was leaking at idle but seemed ok.
