Hi again, sorry not been on for a few days.  Its not the clutch as its fine when accelerating pulls really well and no slipping at all. But if i rev it to much like say close to the red when i dip the clutch to change up a gear the revs just carry on going. Dont worry either ive lifted off the pedal.
Thanks again
Carl

Hi again, Im back from test run after cleaning TB which was not bad anyway, just a little bit of carbon around the butterfly, bad news is its still doing it. first and second if i give it enough revs before shifting up a gear? Went into the red before revs came back down the other issue with this is you cannot get it into the next gear until the revs have dropped enough.
Any further advise would help a lot!
thanks
Carl

Your TB cable driven or electronic? If its cable driven the cable could be getting stuck?

Electronic so no cable? I really don't know what else to try.

Could this be map related? I know some maps come with a brake and boost function.. I think how it works is similar to left foot braking, but the computer keeps the accelerator planted while you brake, so you still have boost ready when accelerating out of a corner. I don't really know the ins and outs but could be something to look into.

Thanks for all the help and thoughts. I've been scratching all weekend and still can't think of what it could be. I've had it plugged in as well but that didn't show anything apart from the stat so replaced that but knew that needed doing as it took ages to warm up. Thinking of taking it to my local VW Audi specialist psi tuning this week to see if they know anything.
