Hey guys, so I’m having an issue with my 2011 golf tdi... Wondering if anyone else has experienced the same or similar thing? It’s driving me a bit nuts!
I’ve become quite in tune with my golf over the past few years and I couldn’t help but notice it feels noticeably sluggish or lazy ever since I replaced my timing belt:/ I did the job myself as I’ve done all the maintenence on my car since ownership, used all new VW geniune parts/tools, double and triple checked timing and tensioner position.
Before I did the timing belt, and ever since i’ve had the malone stage 2, when I’d get on it the torque would hit hard down low it would pull hard and rev out to 4500rpm no problem. Now it feels like it has no bottom end torque, power is flat, and it struggles to rev out. Fuel mileage is down quite a but as well.
I’d really appreciate any help on the matter as the car just doesn’t perform like I’ve come to enjoy.
