Audi A3 / VW Scirocco Boost
Discussion
Hello,
My mother has a VW scirocco 2.0 TDI 140, and I have a Audi A3 TDI 140. Both engines are supposed to have ~300 Nm of torque at around 1700 rpm. You can feel significant torque in my car as the turbo comes in, however, in comparison the Scirocco has noticeably less torque, far less in fact.
It isnt showing a warning light and I cant seem to hear a boost leak.
What can cause the boost/torque to drop off so much, are there any parts that should be checked to point to particular problems.

Is the gearing the same? Obviously even a small difference in gearing would make a big difference to the acceleration. Even differences in the seat, driver position, engine sound could affect your perception of performance.
You could check the real-world acceleration times and fuel consumption against the road test figures to reassure yourself that both cars are performing normally.
