vw passat problem
A mate of mine has a vw passat 01 plate ,when accelerating from ist gear the car seems to hold back ,when in 5th gear and the accelerator is pressed it pulls no problem what could cause this very confusing is it the turbo as it's the td 130bhp model.
cheers in advance.

Has he repolaced the air filter recently? The reason I ask is I have the same car and until I replaced the air filter it seemed to 'hesitate' pulling away when cold which meant more welly or you stalled. Since the filter got replaced (old one was well durty) it seems fine. Now this has also cooincided with warmer weather as well and I must admit that it never relly *held back' from accelerating in 1st aprt from what I said. But I was also thinking that by the time the car got to 5th it'd be a bit hotter ...
Worth a check anyway.

Mate had this problem on his 99 tdi, it got so bad that after weeks in workshop, VW running all kinds of tests and even replacing loads of parts, they still didnt know what was wrong.
I can't be absolutely certain but i think it was just a dodgy fuse that when eventually replaced solved the problem - although how that would cause such a big problem was never uncovered.
Maybe just VW being incompetent though??
