Golf Mk3 Gtd really underpowerd....
« on: 27 March 2013, 15:48 »
Anyone here have an AAZ engine with experience to regards the turbo system who can help me.
The turbo charger is working because it makes sound and all pipes look ok so there should be no leaks.
What should I be looking for?

It would help, if you can describe what sort of sound it is?

Could be turbo spooling sound. But that is normal though right?

Would taking it out and cleaning it solve this issue?

Yes but I wish it was as loud,no when idle its like id does not have a turbo and i have to pull the gas lever a fair bit to hear it
It is ridiculious going uphill haveing to constantly switch between 1st and second it it really annoying

Lol, sounds about right to me. Does the turbo pull well? If so nothing to worry about pal.  :wink:
