Down on power
« on: March 09, 2024, 12:51:40 pm »
Hi all,
New here. I've recently acquired this 2005 gti. Totally stock,very clean,fsh with 80k miles. Got timing belt and wp done. Suspected it was a little down on power so had dyno test done and results pretty disappointing as you can seeCar runs well,no warning lights or fault codes. Replaced plugs with ngk iridium and also r8 coil pack but don't think it made any difference. Also checked cam follower which looks perfect.
Any other common causes for this kind of power loss. Just want it back to factory soec

Wow, lost about 50 horses there... Can't advise anything really and I'm no good with the spanners lol but is the timing correct, compression etc?

Yeah,pretty sure all good there. As I say,car seems to run fine,pulls through all the gears but obviously not where it should be.

Yep - try the Diverter Valve first, new ones aren't expensive to buy or fit.  I noticed the Dublin plates, where did you get the dyno done?

Will do. I presume it would be obvious to see if it was faulty ie.Ripped diaphram.
Got dyno done with jaf performance in monaghan.

If you could get a scan done - ideally VCDS - then that would give you an idea of where to start looking. And if you don't have VCDS yourself ask any mate with a VAG group car, there's bound to be one that owns it considering how often VAGs get check-engine lights for the stupidest of reasons  :happy2:
