Title: Help! 2006 Golf GTI - revving on its own/juddering/turbo issue :(
Post by: AndyPandy on 19 September 2012, 13:54

Hi guys and gals,

My GTI started juddering a couple of days ago and revving on it's own between 1 & 2000 revs.

I took it to a garage who said the throttle body, vacuum, pipes etc were fine.

They said the vagcom? was showing 2 errors - between the ECU and the turbo.

My heart sunk when they mentioned the word 'turbo' as that normally means a bank loan.

The car still accelerates fine which hopefully suggests that the turbo hasn't gone.

It's due to be assessed by a VW specialist on Thursday.

Any ideas? and what the financial implications are?

MAF? I know on the mk4s the MAF causes poor idle.  :undecided:

What errors did it come up with? You could narrow it down if you know the codes...

The garage identified the problem and fixed it ... £96 for the part and labour.

They said the breather?/value had disintegrated.
