why does my Volkswagen Golf MK7.5 (2020-Present) have delayed acceleration

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather the necessary tools and parts. Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical shorts during the repair.

2. Clean the Throttle Body

• Remove the air intake hose connected to the throttle body.
• Use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the inside of the throttle body, removing any carbon deposits.
• Reattach the air intake hose securely.

3. Replace the Mass Airflow Sensor (if needed)

• Disconnect the electrical connector from the MAF sensor.
• Remove the MAF sensor from the intake duct by unscrewing the retaining screws.
• Install the new MAF sensor and reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Inspect and Replace Fuel Filter

• Locate the fuel filter in the fuel line.
• Relieve the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and running the engine until it stalls.
• Disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel filter and replace it with a new one.
• Reconnect the fuel lines and reinstall the fuse.

5. Transmission Fluid Check and Replacement

• Remove the transmission fluid dipstick and check the fluid level and condition.
• If fluid is low or dirty, drain the transmission fluid by removing the drain plug.
• Replace with new fluid as specified in the owner’s manual and refill to the correct level.
