Robin427 · 03-07-2021, 04:28 AM

hi,

there are still some problems with my N52 engine,

when i drive at light throttle for a while an then push the pedal to accelerate a bit more, it tooks around one second until the car accelerate.

is this delay normaly for the N52 ?

it happens at low rpm (~2k) and also at higher rpm (~4k)

2005 N52B25
no codes and almost everything is new

regards Robin

Robin,

Yes, what you are experiencing is normal. I experienced this with my manual transmission n52. There are various options -- you can get a pedal box if you are looking to purely just fix that issue or get a tune. Definitely a price difference between the two. If you are looking to modify and squeeze power out of it, I would make the tune the last step. Hope this helps.

thank you, it helps ..important for me is the fact that it's normal

It's my daily driver so squeeze it out is currently not intended
