Hi all,
Was hoping my first post wouldn't have to be a problem but here goes..
New to the forums after recently becoming the proud owner of my Ibiza due to my trusty 306gti6 finally giving up on me!
I think there's a problem with it which I hope somebody will be able to assist me with.
Basically the car starts and drives OK from cold, but it feels down on power.
I've heard that the turbo doesn't kick in from cold anyway until it's warm, but even when the car's fully warmed up, it's still down on power. I don't get a "kick" at 3kish revs.
Once the car's warmed up if I stop and start the engine the problem instantly goes away, the power kicks in once you get to around 3k revs.
I've tried this quite a few times and it's always the same. Down on power, even once it's warm, until I switch the engine off & on again.
I got it from a garage, so I could take it back, but I went about 150 miles to get it, so if it's something simple..
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
