Title: Seem to have a problem
Post by: TJJONESVDUB on 12 March 2010, 22:43

Ok when I'm in say 2nd gear rolling if I don't touch the accelerator it seems the engine pulls back as if the brakes are being put on slightly. I've recently bought a new genuine MAF so don't think it's that, does anyone else suffer from this.

Cheers

I get this too.

The car decreases speed pretty quickly when you release the throttle.

Yeah it's been a problem for a while but always pushed it to 1 side as I'm not off the gas much  :grin:

I just left it too.

As long as the car increases speed quickly when the throttle is pressed, thats the main thing  :grin:

I have an AGU 1.8T.

The car was serviced by r-tech back in jan this year with a full throttle body clean. Only problem they found was a split pipe, which has now been replaced. I think they cleaned the TB again when i had the ko3s fitted couple of weeks ago too. As for vagcom, I put the car through it three times last week, as I swapped the maf over, no error codes.

I dont notice any sound difference since fitting the ko3s, but the recirc valve seems to be louder since fitting the new maf.
