Galaxy Power

[SPIKEYJIMBO]

Morning all,

 

Have just got the car back after having the turbo cleaned hopefully it stops the dreaded limp mode,have noticed that when accelerating the power seems to be in stages like its holding back momentarily , hopefully that makes sense to some one. I dont think there is a loss of power and still accelerates with a high top end.

Before having the turbo cleaned I had fault code 17964 thats why the dealer cleaned the turbo

 

Anyone have any ideas as to what this could be, I have scanned it with vag-com and no faults recorded.

Hi there, not sure if I'm understanding your problem correctly but my Galaxy 1.9 tdi was losing power and it turned out to be the mass air flow meter. I took it off and gave it a good spray with carb cleaner and it's been fine since. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Rob.

Thanks for your reply,

Its not losing power, more like whilst accelerating instead of being a smooth power delivery it seems to be coming in stages like its hesitating momentarily

hi again...sorry for delay...been busy....mas air flow seems to be a big problem with these engines..worth a look i think....or fuel system....would now try some diesel injector cleaner in your tank .a shot in the dark i know ,but its fairly cheap ,and it might work...regards..traff
