Just a little bit about my day at PDtuning today. I think my car is the third 06 gti to be tested in the last few days by Dave and going by the first two cars results was this going to be three in a row and cause even more discussion on the boards?
Unfortunately not. It started off well measuring the stock figures which came out at 199.1 on the BHP and around 220 on the torque. I thought those were quite respectable for an 06 car with 110k on the clock. It wasn't all plain sailing though as the dsg wasn't liking holding gear in 4th and this was to continue for the rest of the afternoon. But a bench figure was set, now what would the final result be?
With the maps loaded and lots more runs performed combined with trying to hold the dsg in 3rd gear a second problem reared its head. A boost problem (00066g/p0299) 'control pressure not reached' causing low boost was flagged up. As i've just recently had the DV valve replaced with the new piston type valve this was pointing towards a split pipe or loosening connection. Unfortunately as it was nearing the end of the day further investigation and the fact I had to head back to Bristol and work negated that plan of action.
We did get some figures though and as stands I'm looking at 233 BHP and 288 on the Torque. The majority of runs were in the 233-237 ball park and torque wise I even got a 303 on one run, but what with the car not holding boost I'll have to wait until it's fixed to get the proper final figures.
I'll see some of you at the JKM RR day by which time I hope its fixed. In the mean time it'll be booked in for pressure testing and hopefully just a new pipe or connectors being tightened up.
I had a great day none the less and thanks to Dave and his mate for answering my questions, and I met another forum member there too, who was very helpful on deciding what should be bought next.
