sharanthing Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Great forum and just what I was looking for since I can't find anything technical on VW Sharan. Can anyone tell me if the lumpy/hesitancy I get between 1500 and 2000 rpm on my 1.9tdi (2002) is typical. It seems worse whem warmed up and engine under light load. Goes ok apart from that with plenty of power and good economy. Got the TIS Ford cd which is helpful but no help in this regard. Any comments appreciated thanks. Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Welcome - No, this is not typical (well, mine doesn't do it anyway). Possible MAF sensor fault, or throttle position sensor? Quote
sharanthing Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Posted March 22, 2005 Thanks Ivor, does this mean it has to go back to VW agent for diagnosis or is there anything I can do. Have read lots on the forum on the dreaded MAF sensor but haven't read much about the throttle position sensor - where is it? Thanks for your advice Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 TPS is built into the accelerator pedal assembly; actually, a misnomer on diesels as they don't have a throttle (in the true engineering sense of what a throttle is). ....and don't ask me where the misnomer is fitted on the diesels :lol: Quote
