Hi guys,
After some info,
I have a 2013 Amarok Highline for the last 4 years been driving like a dream. Lately I’ve noticed that sometimes after a drive the idle sits at 950rpm instead of the standard 830ish rpm. If I turn the car off and then straight back on it goes back down to...

Hey guys,

So after weeks of looking i finally managed to not only find myself a car, but a seller that wasnt out for revenge on the world. So i thought.

Car is an 07 wagon, 156k TDi with some general ware and tare.

I am in Newcastle, and the car was in Sydney,...

Hey team,

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but is a tune for an R36 remotely worth it?

I'm thinking the DSG tune itself and leave the ECU alone as it's pretty highly strung from the factory however increasing the revs a touch to act a bit more like a normal auto would...

Curious to find out if mine is the same as others.

When testing launch control, the first stage will hit about 2k revs and hold the revs Thier and I have noticed on the performance gauge that boost is sitting around 10psi.

When I push the accelerator a bit further it will...

Hi
I have the 2012 TSI 2.0 132KW Tig with the Tiptronic 6 speed automatic tranny and have a question about it when its running along with the revs low in the range (about 1500rpm) in any gear and a gradual load comes on either through an increase in gradient or slight throttle increase which causes...

My '96 petrol T4 has just started to play up big time for me!
When the van is started it generally runs as it should, but occasionally when it starts you can feel that it isn't idling correctly and feels a little out of time so to speak. HOWEVER, when the van has been driven say, 5 minutes of...

I have recently purchased a 2002 2.5 TDI T4 Transporter and Pete from Newcastle VW Center diagnosed the MAF sensor as faulty using his diagnostic laptop. it seems to drive beautifully on an open flat road but lacks power when going uphill with barely a load in it. It just seems like the turbo isn't...

Hi All,


My 2010 6R 77TSI 1.2 Manual thinks it's a bumble bee.

I've had the rattling chain, fixed.

I've got the rattling fuel lines, ignoring.

I've got the rattling wastegate as the revs come down, ignoring.

Now I get...

Hi all,

I have recently purchased a MY13 mk6 GTI manual and love it.

However the more I drive it I am starting to get concerned there could be an issue with it.

When you drive it around normally it feel almost lathargic on take offs it makes no remarkable power...

Have what could be the start of a problem. Occasionally (50% time) when revs come back to idle the revs drop to almost stall, about 200 rpm then settles back fine, likewise if I hold accelerator at about 1000 to 1200 revs the revs keeping dropping and rising by about 300 rpm. Any ideas of where...

Hi all.

Earlier this his year I bought my first VW for my girlfriend, a '98 polo 6n1. Great car. I've come across a bit of a problem though. A few weeks ago I noticed it was running a bit rough. After inspection I've discovered it's missing on cylinder number 1. I've done a fair few tests,...

Hi all. Nice forum. I'm learning heaps. Coming from Lexus.
Wanting to modify r32 mk5.
Miltek including cats. BMC intake. Lowinging springs. Ap tune Inc dsg.
Is it good option?
I find torque good but power runs out low in revs. I come from old school jap engines where revs...

I understand it's pretty typical of modern day VW gearboxes/engines to have the revs hang a bit between changes when the engine is warm.

When the engine is cold in my GTI the revs drop like a stone between changes, which means they can be faster. As it warms up, the hang time increases...

Hi,

I've a completely stock manual 10/2012 GTI with 32,000. 2750km since last service. I've noticed a strange sensation over the last three or four months. Wondering if anyone had some thoughts on it.

When (for example) in 3rd gear at lowish revs (1200 or so) I like to...

Mornin' all,

Our 2.5 TDI ACV diesel has developed a rattle at low revs. It can be heard when ever you start off at below 1300 rpm. Above this is goes away and is normal smooth (I cant say quiet) diesel. I have isolated it to around the harmonic balancer although that seems tight. Also...
