Evening all,

Last few times ive been out in the Galaxy have noticed that when accelerating the power isnt delivered smoothly, id say probably hesitant for a second then it cuts in and takes off(slowly,slowly, power delivered and accelerates).

the mrs has also commented on this so I know im not imagining it :) I have checked the forum for this but only had a post that was for the galaxy 130bhp and I have a 2001 115bhp.. Turbo vanes have been cleared as I was experiencing the power loss and no issues have shown on my vag-com.. im guessing this is not normal so any ideas.?

 

Any help is muchly appreciated as the warranty has 2 weeks remaining and if there is an issue id like to get it rectified.

 

Many thanks.

James

Hi Jim

Try driving with the MAF sensor not connected, see whether it's worse.

If it's the same it's probably had it, MAF don't always show up a fault code on Vagcom.

Hello,

 

No joy as yet, Going to get the hoses looked at for splits and wear, and look into relay 109. I think its going to be a process of elimination that may take some time and probably cost. Want to get it done before driving the 5 hours into cornwall mid May ..

 

A better description rather than hesitant could be a stutter - No issues regards gaining speed etc just after changing up or down a gear and the accelerating it just holds off for a second and then picks up fine
