VR6Pete 1,455 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi, Would advise getting it on VAG-COM / VCDS to determine if there are any fault codes. Could be a few things; MAF / Blue Temp Sensor / Vacuum leak. Link to post Share on other sites

c00k 435 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I'd use vag-com or an OBD2 scanner to look for errors on ECU. Sounds like you have a sensor problem. Could be MAF like mentioned above, but could also be either of the knock sensors. Either way what ever sensor is playing up should show up on a diagnostic scan from vag-com or an OBD2 scanner. There are also manual ways to go around and test each sensor with a muilt meter, checking the wires for a live power feed, checking resistant and ohms of sensors, then check the resistant of the ground wire. On each sensor. This can be tedious and time consuming and a lot of head work if unfamiliar with car electrics. But this is why diagnostic scanners where made, they can test the sensors in split seconds, and save you the head work of doing it your self.
