Power surge???

[racingswamp46 0]

My vr6 has been playing up for a while now, it has what feels like small power surges when you accelerate! i have changed the plugs and the airfilter and hosing. it has cams fitted so you would expect a power increase at higher revs but this problem comes right from the bottom of the rev range all the way to the redline! can anybody suggest what it could be coz its really starting to bug me?!?! HELP PLEASE

Sounds sensor related, you need to get it on VAGCOM really...

Agree with above... Take it to a VR specialist who will plug your car into VAG COM and diagnose any sensor faults straight away.

cheers guys, i have booked it in for full diagnostics and rolling road on thursday, i will let you know the outcome!!

turns out the coil pack has a crack in it and needs replacing, along with the leads, and it needs a new cam sensor! about £350 they reckon to fix it! one good thing though it did put out 243bhp on the rolling road! chuffed with that!

243 thats a good result

 

and not running at its optimum

 

what have you got under the bonnet?

here's the spec list, i brought it from a mate who used to use this forum he used the name vr6220, ihave just changed the alloys to brock b2's with deep polished rim because i bent one of the oettinger ones and couldnt get hold of any new ones! most of this work was carried out in the factory when the car was brand new, i have over 40k's worth of reciepts for it!

oettinger 3.2 engine conversion

two highlift camshafts

modified inlet manifold

modified exhaust manifold

modified air flow

oettinger chip and ecu

full powerflow s/s exhaust

Nice! You should post some pics up in the members gallery, would like to see the beast! :) 40k worth of receipts it ought to be pretty good... does that include petrol?!

[racingswamp46 0]

its well thirsty on petrol! if you type in oettinger in the search part of the website then click the post from vr6220 there are some pics of it there, but this was before i got it and it still has the old rims on it and original number plate! still get the idea though!

[Trig 0]

Ah yes, I remember now there was a big debate about this car when he sold it, he was changing it for an escort... Anyway i've taken it OT :oops:

[racingswamp46 0]

i'm not sure how to post pics! hope this works!

[racingswamp46 0]

whats OT?

[Trig 0]

Off Topic, which is exactly where this has gone! :)

 

I reckon it could probably be locked up since the original problem has been diagnosed...? :wink:

[racingswamp46 0]

well i'm ordering the parts tommorow £370 for all genuine oem parts. not as bad as first expected, hope it fixes it! cheers for the advise guys :)

[racingswamp46 0]

i took the car to Clive Atthowe tuning in Norwich! apparently he's the best in the county for that sort of stuff. Anybody else used him before? he seemed pretty switched on.
