Hi All,

"A mate with a MY2000 has a problem, can you please help. See below:

When accelerating in mainly 2nd and 3rd gear a juddering starts at 4,000rpm, when turbo kicks in, and stops approx 4500rpm – seems to be a lack of power after that also.

Local garage is unsure of problem but thinks it may be down to the air filter I have fitted which is affecting the MAF sensor…..

Please help!

X reg 2000 Uk turbo"

Any Ideas?

Cheers

Does it have a Magnex or Twin Dump decat downpipe. If so it may be rubbing on the gearbox.

Hi,

It has the standard STI exhaust from the same Model year. Bailey DV and not sure what Air filter - possibly blitz.

Alan,

Get it to a specialist to have the MAf checked now!!!! Drive off-boost till then!! It might not be that, but it's better to play safe as a dodgy Maf can kill your engine PDQ!!

FYI A recent post by another user who thinks he's shaggeed his engine is looking increasingly like the classic, shot maf/melted piston scenario! So really get it looked at asap.

Loose the VTA dump valve too!
