I almost guarantee that your D.V's are fine and wouldnt cause this type of problem, intake and map would'nt cause this issue either. Have you checked plugs, coils and Pcv. I would start there and get car logged. Stop throwing parts at it.  You will solve it. :smiley:

Have a quick search on Vwvortex.com, can be very helpfull.

Well, I have teh BSH PCV Stage 1 fix - so there's no chance of a diaphragm or pipe leak issue.

Spark plug and coil pack wise...how and what do I check?

Hey mojo, dont know if you still have this issue but ive just replaced my MAP sensor tonight.

Thanks buddy... I haven't had a recurrence... will monitor.  If it happens again I'll replace the MAP sensor.

How much did that set back?  You got a part number?

it was £99 for a new MAP and a new DV, so i think there about £50. takes 2 mins to replace. noticed its not boosting quite as high with the new sensor now,  :rolleye: maybe it was overboosting beforehand. power seems smoother.

Just wondering if it could be coil pack/ packs.

Lost 2 on a nearly new Porker, replaced all under warranty.

Sounds very similar. No power for 15 secs or so when u put ur foot down.
Mine was worse when engine had been run for a while / hot.

Don't know how to check coil packs. Can you diag or log with vagcom?

Lee

ps feel a little guilty about the DV hope you are happy with the forge.

No worries NC  :smiley:

Nothing registered or shown in error log through VCDS.  Every time the power loss occured I have had to switch the car off to reset it back out of 'limp mode'.

Not sure how I'm going to get VW to replace the coil packs under warranty if nothing is logged...

Can't help you, but the Porsche was just the same.  It did "clear" itself after a few seconds and drive ok.

The worst was coming off a motorway cruising up to a rounderbout then having nothing for a few secs when pulling out.  Foot flat to the floor, all of a sudden all the power comes in at once all 500+ bhp  :scared:

Funny, as soon as I phoned the dealer they said coil packs.  Didn't need to book it in either, they just replaced while I waited.

Personally I would be tempted to phone a couple of dealers, and ask for the service manager.  Or like you said a good indi.  Explain the symptoms, suggest coil packs.
