Tel 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi guys, started the car earlier and it sounded/felt like it's missing. Now when I took it out earlier it hesitates under load under 2k revs but is fine once above 2k. Strange as it has been fine but the problem started after I got back to the car from shopping.Hope it all made sense? lol Link to post Share on other sites

ez_101 1 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 might sound daft but i had a similar problem with my old golf, turned out the CAT was fooked and was causing the loss in power. Link to post Share on other sites

Tel 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Sounds like i'd get to a full service by the end of it. LolI have only done the plugs a couple of months back so i'll give the leads a go tomorrow if i can get some off of the shelf somewhere Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 if they need replacing VW are around £100 but i think you can get Bosch ones from GSF cheaper?!Also might want to check the air flow meter, unplug it then plug it back in to see if there is any change in idle, and if its a panel filter take it out and clean it they can get clogged up this time of year!
