Suffering power loss and stuttering in 3rd gear as I accelerate around 30-40mph, any ideas???
-
Have you had it scanned? First thing I'd go at would be a throttle body clean. Get it scanned if you can.
-
Are you getting really bad mpg? Could be maf
-
It's dropped to about 28mpg now from 32ish before. does idle funny as I stop at junctions or first start it up but only for about 5-10 seconds drops up and down between 600-900rpm then sorts itself out.

Clean out the throttle body as that's free to do if you're handy with tools :smiley:

You can find it :tongue:

If Was maf will go down to like 15mpg mate so may not be that.. Sounds like you just need throttle body clean as rhyso said.. Easy job :smiley:
-
Will do it tomorrow as I'm in lates, fingers crossed it works. Cheers lads
-
Update - cleaned the throttle body yesterday which was filthy, resulted in sorted idling and massive noticeable difference in throttle response etc BUT under heavy acceleration in 3rd or hitting 80mph it now stutters then misfires !!!! Any ideas anyone???? Oh and the boost pressure has gone fr 18psi to nearly double that!!!!!! Help lol
-
what engine code
you need to check all the PCV pipes in the engine bay for leaks including those under the inlet mani
-
It's AGU mate
-
hate to say it but ignition amp?
-
It just seems to happen as the boost maxes out though I mean when u floor it the boost is now hitting about 35psi (I'm assuming this is way too high) its then juddering misfiring then keeps going it doesn't do it all the time or under normal acceleration.
-
Any fault codes? faulty N75....
-
Getting it plugged into vag.com tomorrow mate so hoping that will come up with something
-
whats it sound like??? 35psi!!!! mines 18psi and it spools hard!! 35psi man id be scared hearin that spool :-s
-
It sounds like a supercharger mate way too loud trust me, it's quick but just waiting to go bang!!!
-
Well I scanned marks car today and the codes are as follows
16487 - Mass Air Flow (MAF) (G70): Signal too High
16516 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Signal too Low
Would these two cause erratic over boost ? Was no overboost codes . The above was all that was there bar a daft immboliser fault
-
Changed MAF today, left battery disconnected to reset, tried and problem still there, boosting to over 35 psi !!!! Any ideas ???
-
It's sounds like it's not regulating the boost properly. This would cause funny lambda readings.
So whatever funny number sensor/actuator that controls the wastegate.
-
check the pipe that goes to your actuator from the N75, I reckon it's split :wink:
EDIT just seen Tophers reply too, we're thinking along the same lines lol
-
Which pipe is this??
-
I've just tightened all pipes hoses etc, taken the dv off, new maf off put them both back on tightened etc. took it for a run and it's now running 22 psi and holding it ????
-
you had a leak on one of the N75 pipes then :wink:

Can you buy silicone pipe kits to replace all this??? Just to stop any future problems?
