I'll try to keep this as simple as possible...
Today on my way home from work i experienced what can only be described as HORRIBLE turbo lag 2100 rpm before anything happened. whereas normally 16-1700 rpm it's taken off and blasted a scooby (its a 1.9tdi 130pd mapped upto 170)
So i thought ok i'll look at it when i get home. Rang the AA because i've got the full cover for garage labour parts etc and he couldn't find anything i went out and blasted it to see if it needed a clear out or to see if it flatted off or blew up or whatever but nothing? The car felt weird under braking so i went upto 70mph and broke firmly, to my suprise not much effort? So i went back to 70 and jammed on and there was very little effort and when i eventually stopped the brakes were pouring with smoke and stunk of burning but there is no binding rolls freely and all wheels move freely?? AA come back out and are completely stumped... It's now booked in to my local garage on Thursday but i want to find out if anyone has any experience of this and can help me before i have a bit more knowledge before i go to the garage...
There's also a flatspot around 2-3k can be anywhere the chap from the AA said possibly the brake are slowly actioning and every now and again snatching a little bit like the servo is pushing the brakes and then causing what feels like a flatspot. But driving normally and braking normally it's perfectly fine and when on boost if im in 4th at 70 and floor it sometimes it's dead like theres nothing there but other times it will take off so im thinking some sort of vacuum?
Either the 2 are related or completely seperate but it all came on at the same time!
Hopefully someone can help.
