that had crossed my mined, but if that was playing up wouldn't it play up all the time in different postions? not that sure how they work! (i always think of them working like a fuel sender gauge). i've tried to read the live data on the TPS but my mate snap on kit wasn't that instant although it did open and close fully but took about 5 secs to move on his screen i might price one up! it might be worth a try!!!!!!! cheers matt

Hi, no, no smoke it doesn't miss or anything! all it does is it feels like your putting your foot half way down then off again, then half way down then off again as the revs are picking up, i was thinking could it be MAFF? i have a spare one albeit its off a 1.9 115 engine, anyone know if they are the same sensor the body is a different size but the actual sensor unscrews. (it does seem to lack a bit off power on initial pull off compared to the old 115)!!!!!????? cheers matt

out of warrenty its over 3 years old?

after another 300 miles run at the weekend, I was playing with the turbo by keeping the revs low then drop it down the box and get the revs high, for most of the way, (Reason being i thought if the revs are high it sould make the turbo vanes open more etc, probly wrong but i trid it )seems to be better but still not right. managed to get, lets say a 3 figure number from the speedo ;-)

Cars been like this for about a week, it didn't just stop performing whilst driving its done it over night, before that it was fine. i've owned it for about a year its dome 130k full dealer history. I have tried to thrash it !!! but makes no difference. thou it does seem to go better one minute then when i use it again its guttless

I'm lost now whats a VNT actuator movement? How do icheck it ? Its all fully serviced! Every filter replaced about a month ago. The maf i've tried was off my mates galaxy that working fine. Is there an easy way to clean the turbo vanes ? I haven't checked the vacpipes yet but will be doing later THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS KEEP EM COMING!!!!!

Hi all, 2002 tdi 115 alhambra, recently noticed seems very sluggish After 3000 RPM (as if the turbo is no longer there although it does eventually get to around 4000rpm any idea's (still got some ummff low range)?_ No codes present ! Swopped maf Made no difference Cheers Matt

If there the one's i'm thinking of YES they are getting quite common on alot of newer car now, seem to be the same price as the bigger ones

Dont hold me to this i've been told to check a clutch park on the flat handbrake on hard select 5th or 6th and try to pull away it should stall if it dont the clutch is slipping and will probably need replacing. ( i do it when they are'nt looking (on a test drive on your own if you get one))
