Power Loss in my 06 vRS

[rchimni]

Hi All

I own a 06 vRS with 21k on the clock , ( stock 150 bhp ) off late ( past two weeks ) I have noticed a considerable loss in power when floored between 2500 and 3000 rpm.

I did take the car to the authorised workshop where they visually inspected the hoses , but no tear or leakages detected. I also cleaned the air filter thinking that could be the culprit but no luck there either.

They then put it on the VAG , no fault codes relating to the engine either.

I did do a search on the forum and one of the other issues mentioned by users was the MAF sensor , if this sensor was faulty would it not show up on the VAG ?

Anu suggestions on what I should look at next ?

Thanks all !

So is it a Mk1 as they are 180 bhp standard?

Maf-Would not necessarally show up as faulty if the performance was reduced slightly.

If you disconnect the Maf plug and take for a spin. Performance is better then maf is probably knackered or dirty.If no difference or worse then Maf is probably fine.

Doesn't say where he's from, could be a Mk1 150bhp vRS as that's what they made in some countries.

Sorry, can't help with your problem though.

Guessing from the name that the OP is Indian?

A good and cheap test for a suspected MAF fault is to disconnect it. If the MAF's faulty, the car will run better with it disconnected.
