check the timing......... if that's ok then it's in safe mode and needs a vag-com scan to find what's bust

it's vw fault code scanning software (many garages do this but someone local from the site may do it for beer tokens)

My 8v feels like it is over revving past 5k. Is this not right?

What do you mean over revving?

I.E it's revving and has no power? 5K is probably on the end of the 8vs power range tbh.



To the original poster, this developed or been like it ever since you got it?
