Diagnosing DV fault

[mnkiboy]

I've only had my Cupra for 2 weeks, but concerned I may have a DV problem.

The car feels quick, but not quite as quick as I imagined at 240bhp car would be, especially in the upper reaches of 3rd and 4th gear. It may just be that the linear power delivery makes it feel slower than it really is, and i've got used to the power.

Having said that, there's a definite 'hiss' when I put my foot down, so it's something I want to get checked out.

Is there any way to diagnose whether the DV is at fault?

Boost leak?

Log requested vs actual boost in vag com.

That may well be the case.

agree with Dan mate , there is no real surge , just linear power , having come from a Revo mk 1 cupra i was dissapointed with the power delivery but i was used to the kick of Revo , the mk2 does have a nice linear surge , natural progression now will be a re map for you lol

You're probably right - it pulls so well from low down I end up being slightly dissapointed with the top end. Looks like i'll be looking at a remap in a couple of months!
