Re dv recirculating type

[gumball b]

i have a stndard 02 S3 bam 225 bhp it has the standard plastic bosh dv there can be a bit of a delay when i put foot down, would this be the cause, and should i look to replace this with an upgrade or could it be something else thanks gumball b

 

[JS1500]

Same for me!

I was going to replace with Forge 007p soon...

What do you mean by 'delay'?

Its a turbo car, they do have turbo lag. Do you mean more of a delay than usual?

 

[sussex s3]

i feel the same, the turbo lag on s3's is pretty bad i think

 

[djb83]

personally i'd replace it with the forge item as stock items can be a little restrictive but thats my personal opinion m8

 

[Dansmith]

My car suffers with this also, used to be quite violently and throw me forward on my seat!

Fitted a 007 and it has made it better but its still there! worth the money I would say tho! Would recommend a green panel filter to put in ur airbox also!

 

[gumball b]

ta mate i thought the same will change it soon and see how it goes wil let you no if any better gumball b

 

[gumball b]

from going from just under 3 000 rpm to just above right? is your car re-mapped, cos mine got worse when the boost was turned up! being meaning to get it adjusted but just haven't had the time!

 

[gumball b]

not re mapped all totaly standard so no upgrades to make other parts dodgey you no what i mean gumball b

Sounds like your maf sensor could do with being replaced, My old s3 was the same, changed the maf for a new one and it was like a different car afterwards, the maf's can become 'lazy' with age so don't respond as quick as they should.

 

[gumball b]

thanks az someone else told me it could be the maff sensor is it an expensive fix gumball b

 

[Az]

It's not really an expensive fix, I paid £85 for a new maf sensor and housing from APS when my old S3 went in for a service. It's a simple job to swap, anyone with the slightest mechanical knowledge can replace it, 10-15 minute job.

 

[gumball b]

thanks a lot for that info az will get that done asap gumball b

 

[Az]

No probs mate, hopefully it will solve your problem, it did with my old s3.
