hi

I have the corrado vr6 and to be honest my mk2 gti feels as quick with the in gear times. Not sure about the mk2 gti 8v figures. Obviously when you hit 3500rpm in the corrado it does go.

Hi MarkieVW,

 

Get someone to plug VAG-COM in and look at the engine ECU. That symptom is similar to the the camshaft position sender. The fault code is 00515. Common VR6 component failure, easy to change and costs about £40 for the part.

 

If it is this, you will also find the rev limiter kicks in low at just around 5,800 rpm. The engine is effectively in "limp home mode" to protect the valve gear. Feels like you're driving on 5 cylinders with a slight roughness.

 

After replacing the part if it has gone faulty, usually intermittant and triggered by higher range of revs, the fault code needs to be cleared to get the ECU out of limp home mode.

That all sounds very familiar to me. Often thought I had a VR5 recently.....

 

I've sent a PM RW1 and feel another mastercard moment approaching.
