Need some help!!! Or is it normal??
« on: 11 September 2004, 11:26 »
Hi peeps, was just wondering if someone could help me out. I drive a 2001 20V Turbo, engine is standered except for a induction kit.

When I start my car in the mornings, it revs just over 1000 rpm, as its running for around 20 secs or so, I start to hear like a juddering noise from the engine, like its missing or something. It only lasts for around 10 secs, then revs back to normal. (Normal is just under a 1000 rpm, isnt it???)

Could it be something to do with the vacum pipes??

Thanks

what kind of induction kit is it ? if that's all that you've changed you've possibly got some gunk on the MAF sensor, clean it up with a bit of carb cleaner.

Hi peeps

I've cleaned the MAF sensor with a bit of carb cleaner around 4 weeks ago, and i've cleaned it again today because the problem started again in the morning.

What could it be????? :'(

if cleaning the MAF cured it temporarily.. it could be on its way out, try cleaning the throttle body too

hard to say... too much to go wrong on modern engines  :-\
its times like this when its handy to know someone with vagcom to check for faults.
