Hi everyone
After a couple of years out of the VW game, I have returned (used to own a MY08 GTI).
Picked up a 2005 R5 2.5 TDI Treg with 87,000kms for $13,500 last week which I thought was a bargain. It is due for a service (has been 12 months since last one) but I have noticed that it is a lot slower than what it should be.
My 0-100 time is about 23 seconds!!! It has an ok feel down low but under load or with the foot flat to the floor it really struggles.
Not sure if it is one, or both, of the cats. From looking at other posts I think my car doesn't have a DPF so am looking at other potential problems.
There are no warning lights. The last owner did a lot of city driving too.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jono
