Just a quick breakdown so far
Got it a few weeks ago and loved it from the off. Think it needs new cv joints in the future, but had it on my mates mot and he said it all looks pretty good.
Took it for a vag com check with a local guy as thought it was a safe thing to do with a new car.
No fault codes but he said it felt flat especially in 4/5/6 going up the rev range-hes worked with a fair few of these. he said its pretty smooth just lacks the go it should have-it isnt as bad in 1,2,3 but definitely doesnt pull like Id think it would
Checked the data logs and it is asking for boost and seems to be getting it but is pulling back the ignition at points into the 7s on one cylinder.
Ive got an excel spreadsheet I can forward someone if anyone feels confident in taking a look and guessing the problem.
I changed the maf for a new one, no joy, spark plugs look ok (pulled no.1 and 2 out for a look) new air filter made no difference.
egr/secondary air pump was unplugged. Ive plugged that back in. Is it possible to remove this-does it help getting rid or is it best to leave it. Some of the plastic pipework has been taped up a bit
He said it looked like the air flow figures were a bit low.
thinking of what could be wrong
vac leak-had a look and there is one hose that had a slight split from the cam cover on the passenger side. super glued that just for the time being until I get to the stealer.
blocked cat/exhaust system-maybe act's getting to high and its retarding ignition??
blocked or collapsing boost pipe??
lamda?? seemed to be changing on the vag com live figures thing
buggered recirc valve maybe? it flutters a bit on gear changes/letting the load off
other ideas from more experienced folk?
It seems a little bit pants on fuel too.
Im getting the throttle body rest tonight-i cleaned it on Monday and putting it on an mot gas analyiser tomorrow to see what the emmissions are.
Any help is most appreciated, I hope what I have put down so far makes sense.
