Title: Car lost power??
Post by: Bucky on 19 May 2009, 14:17

 For lunch today i decided to take a trip to the better halfs for a bit of lunch . . jumped in the car and noticed a lack of power, when i put my foot down it was like the car was back to standard (its re-mapped) and i couldnt hear the turbo hardly at all.

 Then on returning to work it was back to normal with full power all fine?? i do no that my MAF sensor is messing around and im getting a new one this friday, but would this of caused the drop in power?

 Im a bit confused  :sad:

Soudsn like that maf being intermitant.

You will prob have a fault code 16486 for the maf which would be good to check if you have vag com. The car will reduce the power due to not knowing the correct intake

i have this, you will prob find you will have a pressure drop between turbo and throttle valve.

Might be worth cleaning the throttle housing
