anyone know why my car might struggle at 5000plus revs in every gear???

 

lower down seems ok now!

define struggle. Does it miss, or just seem to lack power?

christ dude does anything work on your car?

Lee you have to give your car a good service, it is the basics, oil/plugs/air filter boost leak check/timing/fuel pressure check/conzult.

Maybe the Variable Valve Timing?

Pretty unlikely :)

hello mate,

Ive had the plugs changed, air filter, fuel filter is fairly new, needs oil change, i am getting a datascan toput it on.

 

The bottom end problem seemed to be one of the turbo pipes not on properly, still dont know if its fully right or not but definately seems more responsive though.

 

 

 

The car holds back once it gets to 5/5500 revs,

Pretty unlikely :)

Yeah, I had no idea. Was just a guess :D

I'm no expert at all. My advice would be what Mark said.

 

If I had to guess and have a total stab in the dark it would be a TPS issue or some sort of air leak somewhere. It could have something to do with the new BOV's fitted not sure TBH.

do you mean soon as you reach 5500rpm your power and boost just drops like theres no more to come?

OI!!!!!!!

 

 

Guessing wrong is my job here :tongue: , we dont need to of me! :smash:

Bugger .. I didn't read the bit about every gear . LOL .. (mental note to self .. read the post properly before typing)

 

Get it on a conzult and don't do any more modifications to it while it is in this state, just makes thing harder.

 

Good luck with it though mate ...

Ive got a lend of a boost leak checker so that will help :dance:

 

Now all i need is to get the computer on it and hope it tells me whats wrong with it!

and ill get the timing checked . . . again

oh

and the injector connectors of course

do you mean soon as you reach 5500rpm your power and boost just drops like theres no more to come?

 

 

Pretty much yes, and the revs pretty much stop flying up!

got any ideas then mate?

:confused:

 

Wasn't born here mate .. originally from the south east, moved here about 4 months ago ...

mine does exactly the same m8!

mines got a det sensor problem, have you checked yours?

I see where you were coming from now mate .. It is a bit different up here I must admit ..

when you get to 5000 does it seem like you've hit a limiter

Like a rev limiter?

Pretty much yes, and the revs pretty much stop flying up!

got any ideas then mate?

No exhaust smoke when car is warm and left to tick over for 4-5 mins?

yes i had the same and it was the engine temp sensor. it could have been knocked when it was worked on

well my det sensor is bypassed mate.

and no error codes.

 

and its uk spec so shouldn't have a limiter should it?

no mate it feels like one. but you would have an error code so its not what i said :slap:

So no one got any more ideas then?
