Passat 1.8th power help?!

Post by luke_lane96 »

Hi

I'm experiencing power issues with my 1.8t passat.

I found the hockey puck pcv absolutely full of gunk along with the pipe that goes from there to the vacuum pipe. Cleaned it out and lost even more power, this will be replaced later tonight.

I also had a fuel leak code, which I fixed a pressurised fuel leak under the hood and the code has now gone.

I have little power up to about 2500 rpm and then the car comes to life again, but still something is missing there.

I'm thinking I should replace map and maf sensors to see if that's the problem but have heard the non genuine ones cause hassle, but the bosch ones are so expensive in comparison.

What do you think I should do?

Year: 2003
Engine code: AWT
