Opinions on my weird problem


Recommended Posts

120K Miles

Cobb OTS stage 2 for 5,000 miles.

5EAT

 

 

When I am in 3rd gear (only 3rd gear) and I do a pull from 2500 RPMS to redline, around 4900 RPM the revs stop for a second and then continue. Its like a dead spot. It does not feel like transmission slip. The trans shifts like butter everywhere in any gear. Its just in 3rd gear it has this problem.

 

If I load the engine up however in 3rd gear from around 3,000 RPMS it wont do it.

 

Also if I disconnect the battery, and I do a pull it wont do it, however on the second pull it will.

 

So am i pulling timing, or is the 5eat really showing signs of wear?

been digging around and it seems that my problem is more of a tune issue. I also noticed I have a huge exhaust leak post turbo at the donut gasket. Could this be part of the problem? Vag Com cable is on the way

 

 

This is not my video but my problem is similar at around 14secs. At 5,000 rpms the revs stop (his stops WAY longer) mine is more of a stutter
