OK dokie, I have a poorly TDi (again! ggrr)
Problems
1. Gear box wont select gears straight away, its 'clunky' and takes literally seconds to change into any gear.
2. At low rpm (1k-2k) when setting off if I give the car some gas aswell, it chudder's really badly until I rev it more to 2.2k+
3. The turbo spools late, starts kicking in at 2.1k and below 2k its as flat as a fart.
4. Its down on power, it only got 160bhp on the RR.
Now the torque figure is fine, at 295lb.ft and the graph for both the power and torque are normal, its simply 20bhp down?!
All these problems seems to have arrised after my new exhaust, which is 2.5 all the way down, no nothing's and its abit loud But downpipe etc is all standard.
Ideas?
So far, ive heard no back pressure due to new exhaust, which would explain the lack of power, and no turbo til 2.2kish but I cant see how that would include the gearbox problem, and judder.
Or flywheel is knackered, which would explain judder maybe? And gearbox selection problems maybe? But would this problem mean 20bhp down, but perfect RR graph? Wouldnt the torque be down?
The major one ive heard is a Injector has gone!? Really? Wouldnt that also have taken the torque down aswell?
Ran a quick vag-com check and no errors, ran some logs and everything seems normal, boost etc etc
Ideas?!
Thanks you diesel boffs!
