vr6 holding back

Recommended Posts

hi guys

just wondering if anybodys had a similar problem my 93 vr6 has a severe lack of power during warm up. its fine when cold (not that i thrash it obviously) and flies when its hot (temp gauge at about 80) but inbetween its holding back as if theres no fuel injection going on, or ignition advance possibly!! im thinking lambda probe but just wondering if anybody else has had a similar fault.

many thanks

andy

Hard to say realy. You need to get it hooked up to vag-com software to scan the engine for fault codes and go from there.

cheers steve thought as much, figured it was worth a go to see if anybody else had the same or similar problem

does anybody know if the gendan fault code reader is any good, thats assuming there is a fault code and the relevant sensor isnt still "in range"!! vag com would be good as i should be able to see live data but its a bit pricey! unless anybody knows a cheap source?!

cheers

you can down load the basic vag com for free, this still allows you to scan the engine. You just need to get a lead (loads on ebay) download the software and off you go.
