TIMMYVR 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Hello everyone, just started using my 95 Vr6 again on sunday its been layed up for about three weeks although started every couple of days and run up to temperature. But the vr roar that it had and all you vr owners know so well :D seems to have lost its deepness, and sounds somewhat raspy. Also although it pulls ok in 2nd and third, it just seems to have lost some of its go and is a bit flat in places in the rev range, definatley not as quick it was before bein layed up. Anyone got any ideas? :roll: Cheers Timmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve @ 0 Posted June 23, 2006 How olds the fuel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Put some decent high octane fuel in it and go for a 'spirited drive' and see if that clears it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted June 23, 2006 optimax it and run it :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIMMYVR 0 Posted June 24, 2006 Hello everyone, tried the optimax fuel the car is a little better but still not quite right. It just doesnt seem to wind up quite right. I unpluged the air flow meter last night there was a slight drop in the revs for a second but then the car kept running. Was wondering if this could be one of the probs. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 24, 2006 How does it feel? A dead cam sensor will make it run 30bhp down... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIMMYVR 0 Posted June 24, 2006 It pulls ok up through second and third, but before it used to pull hard from about 3000rpm but now it still pulls but not as well, seems to hit the power later and not as strong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 24, 2006 Lack of torque - you could try another maf is you know someone local with a VR? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIMMYVR 0 Posted June 24, 2006 My old vr is still about, ill have to try and get hold of the chap and see if I can try it. Would a faulty MAF sensor effect Bhp ? Thanks again to all of you for your help and advice. Timmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted June 25, 2006 yeah a faulty maf will drop bhp about 15-20 bhp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIMMYVR 0 Posted June 25, 2006 Brilliant for your help everyone, will look into this next week. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted June 26, 2006 yeah a faulty maf will drop bhp about 15-20 bhp Is that a fact? I would assume that a bypassed MAF (which you'd know about straight away in VAGCOM by the way) would kill the car's performance a lot more than 15-20bhp. I would expect it to run incredibly rich. And that's assuming your throttle position sensor is working really well. If it's not the car won't run at all. If the MAF is just "dodgy", which by many tales on here can happen then anything could happen. Lean running. Rich running. Anything and everything in between. It's worth trying, but simple statements such as this do not come anywhere near reflecting the reality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
