Spent a little fortune allready n only had car 5 week any ideas guys

hey up bro, where about in west yorkshire are you? Great company / guy that works at a company called FA Ropers - They are VAG specalist and really knows there stuff.
They are located top end of Bradford - Low Moor / Wyke - this is there number 01274 674141 - ask for Charlie
-
I'm in Dewsbury had nothing but trouble with this car. N starting to really burn a hole in my pocket. Do u think that's right about ecu having to be bedded in ?
-
Not sure about ECU bedding in- It does have to learn the new air to fuel mixture which the MAF does - go for a long drive (1 hour or so) or just drive it over the next few days and see how it goes.
What are your main symptoms? Is it manual or DSG?
-
It's a dsg. That's wat the mechanic said needs to start reading new air fuel rations n will adapt over next few days. My symptoms are put your foot down n it splutters n takes a while to pick up like mini little backfires bit o white smoke then your off drive it slowly your ok. Tick over seems to b up n down too. Also as I was puting foot down a bit hard for say 30 secs engine manegmant started flashing so I backed off 30 secs later it goes away. Unplug the maf no bogging out but after say 1 minute of hard driving seems to go into limp mode
-
Will they do vag logs while driving etc to find problem.
