2.2 euro5 125 feels hesitant

Postby glenandemm » Wed Aug 22, 2018 9:55 pm

Under light acceleration it feels like I have to almost wait for the turbo to kick in before it starts to go, I find I’m having to drop down a gear to get it to pull low down!
Coming from a 110 mk7 its a totally different drive and once the revs start to rise it pulls well but low revs and this flat spot its almost pathetic, noticed engine under acceleration sounds abit rattly too not sure if this is normal for these but everything else seems ok like idle smoke etc
Anything common to check like egr or do these things just want a decent remap to sort them out?

mine is the same mate, I am having it remapped soon.

The guy who is dong it sad all the engines are the same (100,125,150) and all remap t0 198 hp and crucially another 100lb of torque witch I am hoping will solve the lack of power low down

Following up on this I had mine remapped by pendle performance they ran it up on the rolling rd, he said the dpf was quite sooted so did a regen before he ran it up and before figures was saying it was producing 130 bhp which was above the 125 standard but the torque figures was about 50nm or pounds or whatever they’re measured in down on standard figures!
When he’d finished mapping it, it was kicking out 196bhp and over 100nm more of torque and wow it pulls like a train now, reminds me of my old Rs turbo many years ago lighting tyres up for fun!!
Can’t say the mpg has gone up but I’ve been abit giddy with the pedal.
Its true though they’re all basically the same engine with different mapping software apparantly
