Title: My mk 5 golf gti has lost all power
Post by: Jamesmkieran93@aol.com on 26 December 2016, 22:30
I bought a golf gti 2 days ago , the first day it ran perfect but today i noticed that it was losing power then its lost all turbo power and sounds like the exhaust is blowing . Can anyone help me find out what the problem is ? I love the car and just want all the power back . It has a milltec exhaust system , stage 2 remap , k and n air intake system running at about 350bph (apparently) . Iv read on a miltec forum that the flexi pipes brusting is a common fault but when it was losing power threw out the day it sounded like the turbo was whistling so i havnt go a clue whats wrong ! Iv asked 3 diffrent garages and got 3 diffrent answers .

Boost pipe come off.
Dump valve leaking
Actuator not working.
Have you had its scanned to see of its stored a code
Is there a lot of smoke coming out exhaust or oil level dropping
