Loss of Power and Car Conking Out

[Dolly_Gti]

what kind of diagnostics you had run on your car? i can get a snapon fault code reader that does a fair few cool things.

downside is it would cost you, as its a hefty piece of kit.

i know its had more than 1 Vagcom and the faults on that for the crank sensor have been cleared with a new one.

Its also been mentioned that a diagnostics test on throtte has been done to eliminate the TB as the problem.

There was talk of hooking something up to it to test the fuel pressure but as i managed to get a fuel pump down there he said it would be cheaper to just stick that on...

Hi all.

well know good news at all...

Looks like the fuel pump out of kez's didnt match up to the one in the car....so now we move onto the fuel pressure regulator....

this is getting silly now....

 

[orangemuffin]

PROGESS!!!

right,

latest conversation with Midland VW...tried a new TB and no different.

Unplugged the air flow metre and the car runs fine !!! no cutting out no dying runs as it should. They have just thrown it on the there new DYNO and my 8v pulled 130 bhp followed by 131 bhp !!!!!!!

He now thinks my car has never had a fully working air flow meter since ive owned it as he said the whole car is just faster and top end of the revs just keeps pulling.

Ive been told i can have it back and run it with the air flow unplugged but they would prefer to get another new one in and give it me back tomorrow..

is this light at the end of the tunnel.......???

waheyyyyyy!!!
finally dan
now you don't even have to go get a rolling road done lol

131bhp is amazing from a standard 8v mate

hopefully this sorts all your problems

 

[gtikezz]

nice one at last you can breath a sigh of releaf

wonder why that one was different ?

 

[Brummy]

131 horses you say?... hhmmmm.. ..damn. now i *really* need to know how many im pushing.

hope its the fix for your car too, heaven knows you need it!

 

[CraigW]

Glad you have finally got somewhere and found out what is causing the issue.

131bhp from an 8v is a very impressive figure. . You must be really impressed/happy with that??

Bet it makes you want to keep it.

 

[jenk]

Hopefully not a big bill to find the problem, kezz not got a maf kicking around for ya?

 

[gtikezz]

i would of if i could of but i realy wanted to leave it on the enjine when i sell it

 

[orangemuffin]

Sod knows why it wouldnt fit, i am guessing SEAT chaned contract on the makers or something....they do silly things like that year to year...

Lets just hope it get it back tomorrow.....

 

[Cupra Kid]

Good man, maybe this will sort fuel economy too?

Think i'll wrench mine off tomorrow and go for a blast, see if there is any difference.

131bhp COOL!!!!

 

[gtikezz]

ohhh look what you have stared now there all gonna be doing it now

 

[orangemuffin]

LOL.....

he asked my what my MPG was like and i said it varied and he said it would probably get better and that what the car was doing was probably not reflected on the computer.

 

[gtikezz]

just one of those things mate but at least you should get her back tomorrow

 

[paultownsend]

jody's a good lad. and would not charge you if things didnt need doing

 

[orangemuffin]

Getting it back tonight....

final price £190 - which for them having my car over a week i dont think is to bad at all...

Been advised to get a second hand ECU and TB if possible as with the flow sensor plugged in its still a bag a crap but with out it the thing drives fine.

 

[gtikezz]

not to bad then mate ,
