ive just recently had my gti serviced by my local mechanic, and had timming belt, water pump,etc new plugs changed, and i thought the other day when i was driving along that it felt like it would pull hard cut out for a second and pull hard again it done it 3 indiviual times in the same gear going up the rev range, and yesterday i was sittin at 40 n 5th dropped to 3rd and the same happend again but was much more noticble, i think it may be the dv, my gti is a 2005 with 29k on the clock, and im also sure that the noise from the dump/wastegate has changed/fadded since friday.

any ideas?

Timming belt & water pump @ 29k ?
- Was there a problem or are you just very cautious ?

VW recomendation on the GTi is now 4 years or 111K which ever is first, im discussing this with VW customer services at the moment.

x18wag:
no problems at all but the cars now five years old and even though it had low mileage, the belt was starting to perish and the teeth were worn, all n all glad i done it lol.

anyone not got any suggestions?

Richn83:
Dont have a clue about the issue your having, you got access to VCDS to do some logging, that should help determine if theres a boost leak.  If you dont check out the VCDS register to see if any of the members with the cable are local to you  :happy2:

The only other way as I understand it is to remove the dv which is apparently a pita on the K03 cars as its round the back by the bulkhead.
