Is that a rhetorical question?

Cheers Ray, I'll have a goosey when it's not either freezing cold or blowing a gale! British weather :/

Nice one thanks, I've not had the car long and don't know if it has previously been deleted. How would I tell? Like I've not noticed a regen and have done about 2000 miles in a month

As title suggests? I have tried the torque scan but it doesn't seem to find the dpf info. Could this mean mine has been deleted/mapped out or does the torque pro app not pick this data up? I can see the PID is there but it doesn't pick it up at all. TIA

Just a quick update.... I have ordered a Mk3 Ibiza egr valve gasket (I've seen on this forum that it's helped with other people's issues) It's apparently a smaller diameter hole which restricts the amount of recirculated airflow into the engine. I've also downloaded the torque pro app to go...

So I have no fault codes. I've not taken it on a run yet with it plugged in. I honestly think my turbo is on its way out. At high speeds it makes a right racket. Like a whirring/mechanical sound

On another note I had a 55 plate LCR about 5 years ago and had a similar issue. It turned out to be the engine speed sensor. I was quoted £350 to fix and ended up getting the part myself from ECP for about £30 and got a mate to fit it for a few beers. I guess this means I'm a cheapskate but I...

I've ordered a bluetooth OBD today to be delivered tomorrow :-o so I'll get it hooked up and find out what's going on. Let's hope I can identify the problem. I have noticed since changing the fuel filter its more responsive or is that placebo? Who knows? Thanks again Davietdi

I haven't taken it anywhere yet buddy. I'm going to try and eliminate the cause before I take it anywhere :think: Will a VAG COM diagnose the issue straight away?

Done the fuel filter.... No different

Have any of you guys seen these engie things? It's a Bluetooth OBD that hooks up with your phone?

Buzzin thanks for the tip davie ☺

To be honest I don't know if the DPF has been deleted or not. As I say I'm no mechanic.

Yeah sometimes, Especially when cold or putting my foot down

Perfect, Do you reckon if I take mine in for a service they will be able to diagnose what's going on? Sorry if I sound like a noob...

Was yours constantly lagging or intermittently? Mine can be okay one minute then really bad the next with no consistency... Also how much did the reconditioning set you back? I'm reluctant to pay too much as I only bought it last month from a small dealer. I paid £4500 with only 80000 miles on...

I'm going to get booked in for a full service with Awesome GTI. Ive just enquired about a full service so hopefully nothing too serious will come of it. Thanks again for the advice

Perfect, thanks for the info

Thanks, so what you're say is it could be lots of different things? Do you know any where local to Manchester that will have a look without charging me an arm and a leg?

Hello guys new here but have been a lurker for a while. I've just bought a 58 plate fr 170 and had it about a month now. When accelerating I get a hesitation from 3rd gear and every gear after where I try and put my foot down. More noticeably in 5th and 6th up to around 2500 revs the car...
