Supercharger problem

[SLA14h]

Hi all, I have a manual TSI118 bought in June 09 I think it was manufactured in 08.
It has had the recall reflash done as soon as I got the letter.
I always run on 98 fuel.
Recently I thought that it was feeling a little slugish in 2nd gear occasionally.
Today on the way home from work it felt as if the supercharger has stopped working all together.
At wide open throttle it would rev very slowly from around 2000rpm untit the turbo kicked in at about 3500rpm.
I have no warning lights on the dash.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

It looks as though I will have to get it to the dealers asap.

I didn’t drive the car over the weekend but this morning the problem had not gone away.
I am waiting on a call back from the service manager to see what we do next.

The annoying thing is the problem appears to be intermittent.
I hope it shows up when I drop the car in for service.

Would the dealer be able to download a history from the car to show what is occurring??

Yes they will be able to see a history of any faults that of occurred, even if intermittent.

If you Super Charger is truly playing up they may find one of these messages which I have had my car spit out when I have intentionally hobbled mine.

or

1 Fault Found:

004261 - Position Sensor for Intake Air Regulating Flap: Signal too High
P10A5 - 000 - - - Intermittent
Freeze Frame:

Both occur when the Supercharger is disabled. The first by way of pulling a fuse and the second by disconnecting a lead. If the particular lead had a bad connection you could see an intermittent loss of Super Charger.

Anyway see what they come up with because it could be totally unrelated.

Mine does this. Service techie said they couldn't find anything.

Could be fuel, I experience that problem from time to time on the Subaru, if I run the tank too low and sludge gets into the system it can take a new tank to clean it out and a long highway run. or I go get some Fuel line cleaner and dump it in the tank.. sorts it quick smart.. my 2 cents anyway ( yes I run 98 as well)

That makes no sense... the feed for the fuel tank is at the bottom of the tank. It's always going to pick up "sludge" whether the tank is full or close to empty.

Hi, I have replaced my water pump but my supercharger/belt isnt moving! How do I check if the fuse is blown? How do I replace the fuse for the Supercharger and where is it located?

I have a 1.4 tsi scirocco 160 hp 09
