Bought my new motor - But I have problems - Low performance

Post by ldavies93 »

So I bought my new car,

58000 miles full VWSH, Immaculate inside and out, however there were 2 problems

First was the airbag light was on, after clearing the codes with vag com and rechecking the code it kept coming up again (Driver Side Airbag detonator resistance too high) turns out the connectors to the clock spring may have been loose after wiggling and tweaking, I cleared the code and its gone for good now.

My other problem relates to the performance - specifically my 0-60 time is 25+ seconds :shock: I *think* I can just hear the turbo spooling up however I check on TDI club for limp modes etc, I have no other codes in the Engine system. I thought possibly the MAF sensor so I did a run with and without the maf connected and threw it through the VAG-SCOPE system. It looks as if the output is exactly the same (I'll post the screen shot tomorrow) with a max reading of the the Actual MAF readout being 500 something.

what should I be checking?? Any pointers

Battery on laptop about to die so I cant be as precise as I would like!
