Well in that case it's probably not the clutch then as I've done this. I will test for boost leaks in the next few weeks as a precaution. I remember my old Fabia having no obvious leak noises but as soon as I loaded the system with air, it hissed out of the bottom joint like a balloon!

I've just replaced my rear brakes so I'll have to check that. It doesn't lose speed quickly or anything though. I've just blanked out the EGR totally so I'll give it a week and see. I gave it a drive afterwards and well the low down power seemed to be back but thats probably because I mr muscled the heck out of it as I was doing the EGR anyway. My concern is still the weird top end power issue as I am starting to think it could be clutch. Only because it feels like the same sort of feeling as if you were to do a naff gear change and slip the clutch; you get that weird wait for the power to build. But if you slowly build the power up it seems to be ok. I'm slightly concerned as my Golf mk4 started to drive the same just before the clutch went.

Today I pushed it fairly hard and it's still not perfect. In third and fourth gear once it's hit boost there seems to be a bit of lag till it hits it's full power. It feels gutless and then the power comes in and it feels fine. I'm wondering if I'm getting clutch drag?

I often wonder if this fix is purely a placebo because everyone reports change but it doesn't seem to stay.

Maybe the original post was just a statement to what the person was doing?

Haha yes seems it was!

Is it me or has this post got no content?

I thought a standard chain was 100,000?

Ah yes I remember that topic. What pathetic excuses for human beings. Great luck that you got the car back!!

Wicked! How did they steal it??

How much for forge pipe, or is it sold?

Are the front speakers working correctly (EG: no crackles or blown)? If they are ok, how much for the fronts delivered please?

I've given it a service and I'm afraid it's just the same! I would love the fantastic throttle response again. Just balancing my foot on the accelerator gave a progressive and smooth acceleration and all seems lost now! Interestingly it seems mildly more sprightly when cold in the morning so I suspect a miniscule vnt response issue. What is next!?

I think if you remove the fuel filter and direct the hoses into a container you would soon tell. If the fuel is only a dribble then I'd suspect a fuel flow issue. Alternately I suppose you could put clear piping inline on the fuel hoses and visually check for air bubbles.

Checked fuel flow? Can you hear the pump prime before you start?

Ps I used the key in the door method to get them to work

I can't get mine to work again. Nothing I do will reset them to auto!

I'll do a service, just waiting on the oil. I plan to map shortly. Real annoying!

I've cleaned the maf with contact spray(which probably didn't do wonders) and even had the battery off for a while to reset the ecu and it's just the same! My only other thought is either injector issue or something holding the car back? That, or something fuel based that's dirty that shouldn't be. I feel like this has all been since running my fuel tank too low after my long trip to Wales to see how far I could get for the money. Or perhaps my long trip at one speed has knackered my turbo or caused a sticky vnt or actuator. But then I'd see overboost?

Well it's weird..My noise has stopped totally. It's just lack of low down pull/lag/hesitation that's the problem. Just don't understand how it could have happened pretty much overnight?

Has anyone got any suggestions please? I've got the evening to tweak!

I see what you mean. This is my problem, everything is spot on including the maf graph. I wonder what else could affect low down power??

Interior light & parcel shelf please? How much together/separate with delivery please.

Are you able to get under the car and inspect the turbo yourself? You can always look at the compressor wheel and give it a wobble. Feel bad for you! What's the cars mileage?

Right, heres my boost log. Looking ok isn't it?
