OK history of the problem is....car was left a couple of weeks and the battery went low enough to lose the radio code. Took off the Battery, charged it, put it back on, car started, no probs, but on driving it felt as if the turbo was not working....disconnected the MAF and no change......bought a new MAF (SEAT Dealer insisted it was the right one, even though the code was differrent and there were changes to the airflow chamber, (they showed me that it was a part number change on their comp.)) now with new MAF it still seems to drive fairly flat until you hit 3000 RPM ......then.....it takes off like a Bat out of Hell... (on previous MAF the performance came in at about 2,400 RPM in all gears) on the old MAF it would get up to about 100mph and then take its sweet time to get to 110mph, now it just rockets to 110mph and hits the governed speed. The power is great but it seems a bit unusable.....is there anything I can do? I physically blanked the EGR when I got the car 2 yrs ago so its not that, and I dont think Turbo probs because its all there....but only after 3000rpm. I checked all the little air pipes to turbo solenoid, all OK, the car is serviced with an oil and filter change every 3 months (yep, sometimes less than that, done it with all my Diesels, geezer once told me that oil will always be cheaper than a blown engine) I haven,t yet taken the car for a long drive, but its been driven back and forth 5 miles or so two or three times at varying speeds in varyoing traffic condidtions....it seems to be getting better but not much.....how long does it take for the ECU to re-learn?????? any helpful ideas would be appreciated.....Oh its a T plate 99 TDIs AHA engine 81 kilowatt Mettallic blue with nice seats hardly a scratch on it and drives like new (except for a sloppy gaerchange --any ideas on that one?) and the SEAT Aura 6 CD changer I fitted, wow that sound is great.....ooops back to reality HELP Please....
