cossiejay Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 I have just got another galaxy a tdi on a 2002 plate but it is sluggish until 2300rpm I have checked all the pipes and done a full service,no fault codes come up but I have noticed the rear silencer is missing would this cause it to be sluggish it still goes along at 75 on the motorway Quote
a18nkd Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't have thought that removing a back box (a restriction) would slow your car down I've heard that removing your C.A.T or D.P.F will increase power by about 15 % so on this basis I would be looking some where else may just need a fuel system cleaner ran through it (redex) I just relised your turbo kicks in around the 2500rpm mark maybe it's that ?

seatkid Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Rear silencer missing??? Are you sure? Obviously been customised? - in that case could be anything...... Why on earth did you buy such a car? Sluggish - not very descriptive - if its a 90bhp model they are quite slow.....otherwise it might be MAF sensor....or EGR valve....or timing....or..... Quote
