Accelerator pedal

Post by DanOliver »

I have noticed recently there is a considerably noticeable delay between pressing the accelerator pedal and the engine revving.. I'm not talking a whole second, but to the point that I have to rev before I even consider touching the clutch or it judders or stalls..

It's becomming increasingly annoying and I was just wondering if this is normal with polo's? as far as I am aware its all electronic so no loose or stuck throttle cables?

nothing will come up on the scan, you need to go into all the extras, you can see what percentage quite a few things are, things like lamba sensor fueling etc and you will see acceleration and that, but you cannot get it from just scanning the car

The one headlight still isn't leveled from last time! Remember my one adjustor had popped off so we couldn't alter it. That's fixed now (the adjustor), so it's just awaiting me bumping into a vagcomer so I can sort it out again, ie you sir 8)
