slow initial pick up in ed30 (1st gear)
« on: May 28, 2013, 11:29:21 am »
I've bought an edition 30 recently and one of the first things I noticed when I drove is that the initial pickup from first gear is noticeably slow....slower than a friends golf mk5 gti. once its over 2000 revs then its fine with the turbo kicking in.. Just wanted to know if this is normal ?
cheers. :happy2:

garrardrj, thanks for that... i was a bit worried there.. i take it the hissing sound(like tyre deflating) from the front is also suppose to happen when turbo comes in..?

If its hissing as your accelerating it may be your DV split!

Major impact on performance. Get it checked, it's at the front of the engine bay on an ED30 and very easy to remove

just to update on this:
I followed the link above which suggested to to remove the oil cap for a very brief moment as you don't want to screw up the pressure ..
I did this exactly as suggested, lifted the lid very briefly. and found the engine was behaving as expected ie revs increasing.. i gathered fro mthis that the pv is fine...
However shortly after this, when I started driving again, Engine emissions lights had come on and has been on since(3 days)....
I have no idea if the two are related...just wanted to ask if this could possible....

cheers

the whole 'pull out the dipstick/remove oil cap to check engine revs' test is to find out if the PCV is gubbed, not the DV. If your DV is split/torn, you will suffer a loss in power and possibly a hissing noise as the turbo is spooling
