Help needed with my GTI :(

[vwvwvGTI]

Thanks so far guys, but my GTI is not a turbo (I dont think) under the hood it just states "2.0" on the engine cover.

Im in the process of reading up on the MAF cleaning, so thanks Oliver, ill let you know the outcome.

Will prob be tomorrow before I can let you know if this fixed it or not.

Thanks again Guys!

without sounding too harsh you've ended up with the runt of the Mk4 engines

Pretty sure the 2.0 only has an ignition coil and not seperate coil packs

Correct

Ive got a 2.slow aswel, we get some stick for the GTI badge being on the back  :embarassed:

Ive went through 2 MAF's so it could be that,
Ive had a mis-fire and that was plug leads so i changed all 4,
My lambda sensor went and that made a big difference to acceleration and MPG,
i do the throttle body every now and again coz sh!te builds up a fair bit
and when i got the car there was 2 cracks in the manifold so if i were you id just do the job and take it out, have a look and get it welded up if that is the problem

I have had a loss of power when shiftinmg up to 3rd after red lining a few times and i dont have a clue what that it? 
Good luck with your problem thou
