any ideas

cheers all

clutch maybe...

 

[The MoffMeister]

not sure might be got the whole lot replaced a year and a half ago or so done track days etc thought it might be something in engine bay like maf etc

if your coming to the meet tomoro i'll bring my vagcom cable and software and we can have a look rob?

 

[tris]

Coil pack?

 

[The MoffMeister]

cheers danny but not coming to that mate

tris i've had them go and it sounds horrible to when they go so dont think its that, maybe maf, or something similar who knows

i had the same symptoms, thought is was the MAF. no fault code on vagcom. turned out to be the dredded clutch slip. new clutch kit in no problems since.

 

[gulzar]

think it sounds like n75 valve which controls boost, or the d.v, or the maf. need to do some logs and try. i'd recommend a vag com on it, check mass flow rates . failing that have a look at the d.v, check for leaks in that area, and finally n75 valve as this mediates the boost the turbo gives. hope it helps. good luck.

i think it maybe clutch then o joy thanx viktor

its not n75 gulzar as i dont have one working on the car, need to service dv and change spring, as soon as i can get vag com i will do

cheers

hot dv sticking?

Unplug the MAF then take it for adrive, if it stops then you know its the maf at fault

 

[holty]

I've had excactly the same on my tdi.
Thought it was MAF, exchanged.Seemed ok.Started doing it again.Usually at about 3-3.5rpm, the needle drops or seems to stop climbing, then kicks back in again!
think its the big bad CTCH

i think it maybe clutch then o joy thanx viktor

mine does this sometimes. Foot hard down and it seems like nothing then bang, loads of boost. Sometime if i have my foot down then release the throttle then foot hard down again, its like you've hit a wall for a second then loads of boost again. Could this be the tip collapsing. I've got an oem TIP. Its not the MAF as i changed that 2 months ago. sometimes also a bit hesitant in third or forth with foot down, boosting then drop in boost then more boost then bit less boost, its only slight but i'm wondering if i have a slight boost leak. Nothing showing in VAG COM though
