Fixing a Flat Spot in the Rev Range

[RocketRossUK]

Ok, so i went out and did a few pulls tonight. Its so strange it only hesitates every other pull, usually in 2nd or 3rd around the 2500-3000k.

It holds for a second then goes. the revs dont go up so can be clutch slipping....just hope its a case of ripped DV (fingers crossed)

Anyone had similar?

Im gonna fit the DV this weekend and see whats what. If its still there i will have to pay for some diagnostics / Rolling road   

More freaking money i dont have

This won't be a split DV mate as they either hold boost or they don't and your not complaining about performance.
For the time it takes and no expense I'd try the car in standard tune also.

I dont think that is true, on my MK5 i also had a DV split (hard to remember as it was a while ago)
but if it has a split it can still hold boost, just not very well.

It not on or off if it has a small tear / split. I may put standard tune on for a while, but dont want to keep flashing ECU as it will show on the counter.

Why are you bothered about the counter? Have you a warranty on it?

If vw look they can easily tell the counter has increased, date and mileage of that count.

Once you mess about, your warranty is null/invalid. Speaking from personal experience

Ok, so i removed the map went for a half hour drive and it seemed fine.....

So reload map and it also seems fine, i could do with giving it a full hour drive out, but how can reloading change it so much

There seems to be no problem with the MAF sensor....make no sense. Anyone?

Mmm does this sound similar to someone else's problems?
Once the maps reloaded it will probably need to readapt so will probably return in time.
Everyone thought I was taking the pi$$ when I said about mine.
Especially the fan boys on the mk5 forum who don't even run the software in question.

I know what your saying, but i dont think its the same problem  . Mine wasnt gradual, it was fine one day and not the next, i didnt have any knocking, just a small hesitation.

Plus it doesnt take 2 months to adapt which ive had the map for, and i have had the Carbonio in for 2+ weeks.

Engine only usually take 100-200 to fully adjust. Strange as hell

[Marshy]

When I say sounds familiar I meant more in the time scale not the problem.
Yeah it'll be interesting to see if the problem returns after its done 50-100 miles.

Sorry to here you've got a gremlin somewhere 
The only time I experienced anything like that was when I had my Revo stage 1 map put on, I had the same symptoms as you and was very annoying, that was when Revo had just released it and was about 3 years ago now, It took them a few months to bring an update out for it, but when they did it totally cleared the flat spot,

When my DV's have failed in the past it didn't feel like that it just felt underpowered  and a bit like a Normally aspirated car,

It's the bluefin map.

I used to change back to stock quite a lot and noticed this after a little while with the bluefin.
Never with stock but only with bluefin after a few runs. Didn't bother looking into it any further as I knew I was trading in soon.
