loss of power and a hiss??
« on: August 09, 2010, 09:25:25 pm »
hi all,

my car went for a re map and would not make any more boost or power.... now the car has become slower and seems to under perform and boost seems restricted.
when on boost there is a constant 'hiss'/whistle from when the turbo cuts in til the end... its like the hiss the dv gives off but constant??

anybody had similar? if there was a boost leak, eg split hose, would the car run rough?

cheers kieron

Did you replace the DV?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

DV was torn in 3 places and was replaced with another standard vw DV but the revised version.....
