Post by: wsmith on 01 February 2014, 19:26
ive been having a bit trouble this week with my car first off i was traveling down the motorway at 70 over taking a wagon than when i just got past it my car died it was a bit strange it felt like there was no power so i put it in 4th than it took off as normal after a few seconds . i pulled over and it was running fine but for the past few days it feels like im driving a diffrent car between 1500-2000 revs its very hesitant and when its cold it soulds like its missfiring ,ive cleaned the maf and had it unpluged still the same, my cars had a recall on coil packs from vw new colder plugs in august ,serviced my 007p has anyone got any other things to check cheers

Scanners are crap you need to use proper vagcom half codes i have through vagcom does not show on scanner i have.

Could be number of thigs,maf , coil packs, throttle body needing cleaning, etc

What kind of turbo intake pipe do you have? The stock ones are weaker and can suck flat under boost after a remap. Might be something to check..
