Hello again everyone, I'm hoping some of you can give me some ideas about a power issue I'm having with my 06 1.9TDi which I'm the single owner and driver of since new.

It's an especially annoying problem because with the help of my local specialist and the advice of a few folks here I've spent a lot of money recently sorting out a quite a few problems that have accumulated over her first 160,000 miles but this one problem persists...

I've posted here before about low power issues and I've also posted reporting that having had a full service, diesel filter, new turbo, MAF sensor, EGR Valve, clutch and DMF and an economy remap that the car feels much better, much more responsive and it really does, when I first put my foot down a bit (which I rarely do) after the above mentioned work I nearly ended up in the back seat, I was honestly, quite amazed...

So, to the problem... That abundance of power only seems to there in 3rd gear. At just over 3000 revs she's off like a rocket but in 2nd its a bit like driving through 2 feet of treacle or into a strong headwind, in 1st it's even worse.

From a standing start with smooth pressure on the accelerator, the revs climb smoothly, but there's just no pull. When it revs high enough in 1st it will suddenly lurch a bit but 2nd gear is needed by then and that makes it very difficult to drive smoothly through 1st and 2nd.

I should point out too that it isn't showing and never has shown any error codes. This has been happening since the new turbo and EGR were fitted but before the remap...

Many thanks for reading, please help...
