Yesterday my 04 Passat strated having an issue. There was no indication that anything was going wrong before hand.
Drove the car to dinner, when finished the car started fine, I backed out of the parking spot, selected drive and then when trying to accelerate it was like I wasn't even pressing the pedal. Kept pressing, the rpm's came up slow and when it hit 1700, the engine seemed nomal. Then the Emissions Workshop and CEL lit up. Drove a couple blocks thinking about it and had a similar issue a couple winters ago when the snow screen got clogged with snow. So I pulled into a parking lot, pulled snorkel and the airbox cover. Snowscreen was clogged with some sort of debris. Cleaned it out and all seemed fine except the EW and CEL were still on.
Drove home and the next morning it started fine but I still got the EW and CEL. Backed out of the garage, went to drive forward and same thing. No accellration until it hits around 1700 rpm. Once you get above 1700, the engine runs normal,, accelration and even pulling hard uphill. Drove it to work and parked it.
Anything obvious to look for??? I haven't found a local with VagCom.
