car hesitates badly around 4,000 rpm

[robdf2]

no not at Englands winners party in south africa

but believe it or not................................................








back in the dealers again.
car hesitates badly around 4,000 rpm onwards from 3rd gear to 6th
no fault codes ,
dealers want to run a diagnostic while i wait ,i have already told them they are wasting their time and a simple road test will show the problem.

im thinking fuel related , requested v actual on fuel looks normal but im thinking more along injector problem.

thing that pi$$es me off is another half days holiday used up
cant use my local dealers as they are right numpties so i have a 60 mile round trip
will report back later.

Is it only under load or hard acceleration? Sounds possibly fuel related or could be an issue with weak valve springs. Was something noted on the ED30/S3/Cupra's a while ago, but we are only really starting to see a bit of a common trend appearing.

 

[robdf2]

it shows up on both Andy , i had a new cylinder head fitted at 4k.
i can be cruising along then drop a gear or just floor in it the gear im in and she wants to go but pulls back 4k to 5k seems to take an eternity.

btw thanks for the quick reply

 

[AndyHazza]

No dramas mate, its what we are here for

Its a bit of a long shot i know, but its just another possible issue

So has it come with any faults at all?

Fuel pressure regulator valve maybe...

no fault codes at all
im in the dealers using their internet lol

they have told me that they wont be able to replicate the problem because of the high rpm in fourth if its over 70mph
so i know there is a problem there but they wont check in a road test
how the hell do i get a problem fixed if i know its there ?
they advertise their car will do 150mph in the brochure but wont replicate 4,000rpm bloody bonkers
already told them the diagnostics wont show a problem.

Andy PM sent mate.

Right well after a long wait , i finally got told the tests they did were in conclusive so they want my car for a whole day next week grrrrrrrr
they want to do some more logs on boost and fueling , boost is fine , im sure its fuel related , oh and they told me 4,000 rpm was 60 mph so a big drama over nothing

They would then charge him double for bringing the car back not working

Good luck with this Rob.

Sorry mate, just try to cheer you up

Best if you ask them bout the refund, don't bother about the headache, after what you've been through with them, I bet you start to get used to it
