Fixing a Flat Spot in the Rev Range
« on: 27 August 2013, 09:07 »
Hey guys,

Just a quicky, just the other day i felt a big flat spot in 3rd while accelerating. It has been fine up till this point so i can rule the map out. It doesn't seem to happen all the time. Really need to take it on a full run with loads of 3rd and 4th gear pulls

Main thing i would check is DV, Coils, Plugs. Just dont which order is best to try. Obviously i should check Dv first, but my jack is broke at the minute, so cant just whip it up and check.

Has anyone else had a flat spot and changed any of the above with good results.

Going to need VCDS or a logging session really as this could be a number of things.

What RPM is the flat spot?

Its not map, it been pulling hard and fast for 2 months, wouldn't just change.

Its around 3000 revs. Im thinking it gonna be a teared DV, I remember when it happened on my MK5, think it did the same.

I have VCDs, what menu do you use to test boost / flatspots?

Engine module

Think boost is block 110 / 115

Or they start at block 10

Thanks for the reply. Then what do you do with it? does it show you fault or lack off boost etc...

Firstly see if you have any faults stored in the ecu memory.

Then you could measure boost pressure requested vs actual boost pressure produced with N75% (Wastegate).

There are many variables you can measure in VCDS. You are probably best exporting the data to excel and producing a graph to see what's happening or taking it to a tuner with a dyno to test in a controlled environment.

As per Poache's reply  :smiley:

It will give you specified VS actual values so you will see if you are losing boost  :nerd:
