So I've noticed that lately my mileage has gone in the crapper. In addition, there was a hesitation in 2nd at about 3500 RPM, and in 3rd power would fall off a little past 3000 then seem to come back a little around 4000 before shifting to 4th. Being curious, I took VAG-COM out with me this evening, and the results are not really surprising:
So, what do you know? Turbo is mysteriously falling off as is intake air. Recent service performed (all done by myself):
Timing belt replaced
Intake cleaned
EGR delete (don't want to have to do the intake again )
Any ideas on why the turbo would stumble and fall off? Bad MAF? N75? Vacuum leak? I'm going to take VAG-COM out again tomorrow and see what it looks like in 4th at WOT. I don't notice anything in first because the turbo doesn't have a chance to poop on me...
