Coming To The End Of My Tether!

[rayc]

Well the misfire continues (I now believe it to be a boost issue).

 

I have replaced MAF, TMAP, Throttle, Boost Valve,

 

No codes showing.

 

Still got severe hesitation at 1800 rpm (sometimes in 2nd it stops and then goes like a rocket until you change gear).

 

Does anyone know of a dealer / individual with vagcom in SE Kent or even Kent?

 

This will be the last chance otherwise the car is going.

 

It's becoming a right money pit now and I have read just about every post here without any success.

 

I have checked movement of the vanes and the actuator moves a good 10 mm plus when started, The problem is still when putting under load and there is nothing there. It's not a fuelling issue (I think) but possibly not enough air. (Hence needing vag com)

 

I'm happy to pay for time.

 

Cheers

Just thinking, i had a problem and IIRC, there was a little pipe right at the back of the engine bay which had come adrift, all it does is slot back onto a tiny spout thingy ( cant remember the exact part name )..i had issues with the turbo because of it..there was nothing, no power to speak of.

 

the pipes/hoses for the turbo are behind a heat shield IIRC...havent had my gal for a while now so trying to remember.the heat shield is at the back of the engine bay.cant miss it.

 

hmm..will try and find a pic for you on here as i know i posted a picture.Fraid i dont have it on my pc anymore.

Vacuum leak - should be cheap and quick to fix.
