Re: No pull at low revs

Nothing as yet, you reckon I should replace the Air Mass Meter as a matter of course anyway? Is it likely that a lack of low end pull would be because of that? I recall having to replace loads of those under warranty on the 1.8T 20v VAG engines (from the S3 and TT especially). I never diagnosed the ...
