crazymarcel 0 Posted June 6, 2004 Hello people, Has anyone got any ideas why my vr stutters (holdin back on the power) sometimes when warm, any places or sensors that may cause this? Its fine when its cold though Could this be a dodgy injector? if so how would i check? or I'm sure i read somewhere on here about the crank sensor loosin its like (cant think of the word) once it gets hot if its old. My car is due to go to stealth in july but would rather sort this out now if anyone has any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted June 6, 2004 Hall sender could also be the problem, this sensor can cause a large drop in power(up to 30bhp). Have you got loss in power?? or does it just stutter a bit then go like the clappers? Best thing is to get you car plugged into VAG COM and see if anything flags up. timo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 6, 2004 It does seem down on power, spose the best and only thing to do is get it plugged into a vagcom machine and see if any faults come up. Its fine for first ten/fifteen mins of driveing though, then gets worse, feeling like its holding back stuttering mainly when ya floor it. always somethin :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted June 6, 2004 Could been lambda sensor too along with many others. Vagcom machine is a definite, the quickest, easiest and cheapest (well maybe, most VW garages charge about £20, more in big cities) way to find out exactly whats wrong with it. Timo P.S. Yup, there is always something. Not trying to put you off, but it took me ages to find out what was wrong with mine. Intermitant signal from the hall sender was the culprit. It lost resolution when warm and any other random time it felt like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 6, 2004 Cheers Timo, Will get it looked at tommorrow sometime. hopefully is a quick and easy sensor :) Did your intermitant hall sender problem come up on vagcom? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted June 7, 2004 Yes it did come up on vagcom timo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 7, 2004 No problems come up on vagcom, so after closer inspection one of the leads looked a bit dodgy and wasent on properly, so have replaced leads and done plugs while i was at it. I think one of the plug leads wasent pushed back on properly, when it had rocker cover gasket replaced a month or so ago. Thats when i first started gettin the stutters as it was. but got worse lately/ damm garage Fixed now though. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted June 7, 2004 Oh well, sometimes it can be the easiest of things to sort. Glad you got it sorted. Its very frustrating when they aint working right!!! simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 7, 2004 You jammy git..... first an unplugged MAF and now an poorly seated lead..... wish my probs were that easy to sort! K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 7, 2004 I know i have been v lucky with my last two probs, but feel rather stupid at not looking at the more obvious first. But ya live and ya learn as it were. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 7, 2004 Surprised you didn't partake in the Shrek group buy actually as you seem fairly committed to your C! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 7, 2004 Unfortuantly kev, i was hunting the leather seats at the time (got um just in time for the summer :| ) , and sods law i now have some money for engine work and the shreks and excellent group buy discount have gone. I have been reading all about them,I'm ready for shrek group buy 2 or ya never know see how Vince gets on with my engine in July maybe some spare money then. Have you had ya car rollin roaded since fittin yours? would love to know the torque/bhp that they deliver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 7, 2004 There's another one for sale on here mate for the same price we got em for, £1050. HodgyVR6 is selling it. I bought his Schrick cams :mrgreen: I'll dyno mine on the 24th June when I'm up there next. Get your wallet out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 7, 2004 Thats a nice price, well for a shrek anyway. If he still has it in July (sure he wont :( ) will make an offer then, but wanna keep my money till my engine has had the all clear from stealth and had the timing chain/tensioner/clutch done. Also desperiatly need new suspension, My tired Spax sport kit is so harsh and horrible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 7, 2004 Would be an ideal time to throw the shrek in to minimise on labour costs ..... Yeah get the Spax off mate.....not pleasant! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 7, 2004 lol, Damm U kev, u makein too much sense, would be the ideal time to have it put on. I'll pm the bloke later. Does he have all the parts i need with it, :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 7, 2004 Yip.....Stealth have still got his kit, so I can bring the manifold back for you on the 24th if you want/if you get it? Of course I talk sense :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 7, 2004 I see, so he was in the group buy, but a change of circumstances etc has ment hes now selling the parts. And all the parts are still awaiting collection from stealth. Brand new sounds even better, I'll pm the bloke now and see what he says, and yea cheers that would be great if ya could bring back with ya if i have done a deal for it. :D Thanks for this info :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted June 7, 2004 And if i bought that, does that then mean i need the shrek cams??? if so, how much are they, and spose its worth gettin all them done at same time, saves on labour :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 7, 2004 You don't need the cams..... you can add those at a later date.......but yeah, saving on labour is always a good thing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
