GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: In First Gear Car Pulls Incredibly Hard But Sluggish In Second

I just recently bought a 337 edition gti and I absolutely love it. But the guy I bought it from says that it was chipped but he doesn't know what brand tune it is. But the problem, like the title suggests, is that in first gear the car pulls incredibly hard but as soon as I shift into second I lose all my momentum and it just feels sluggish.everyone that I've seen on these threads have said that I should be getting the most power I'm second and third gear. Is this tune just not a good one? Could there be something more?

I'm looking to get a GLI, but don't know which year to get. From what i've seen, the 2004.5 models are among the nicest. But what is the difference between each of the years? (2004, 2004.5, 2005), and what do you recommend to purchase?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 2004 GLI 1.8T - HIDs Won't Turn On

Car: 2004 Jetta GLI 1.8t
Problem: HID's wont turn on
Parts: Helix Projectors; Direct Connection Tuning 6000K HID kit, Ebay relay harness

Other Facts: Had this setup for about 8 or 9 months now with no problems whatsoever. Drove my car home last night and they worked fine. Got in my car tonight for the first time since last night and my headlights wouldnt turn on. All lights, work, just not the low beam HID's (and the high beams, but that's because there's no bulbs in there).

The fact that neither bulb works leads me to believe its the relay harness. Whats the deal? What can I check? All connections and fuse for relay harness seem fine...

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 2004 - Clutch Won't Go Into Any Gear

My wife was driving home and was exiting the freeway, downshifted and then no response from the clutch or gearbox. It would move left to right but not go into any gear with the car on. No real pressure in the clutch pedal either. With the car off you are able to find all the gears but when you start the car in gear with the clutch down it just jumps forward and dies. No smoke or burning smells either way and the pedal does come up by itself. Pushed the car into the driveway and its goin to the shop tomorrow morning.

With the search button so far: master/ slave cylinder, full clutch problem, air in brake/clutch lines, shifter linkage bracket

I don't think it's the slave cylinder as the pedal is NOT stuck to the floor, but I am not handy with cars, only motorcycles. First thing I checked was the linkage bracket, which seemed to be fine and as I stated, I was able to get in gear while car was off. Brake fluid was almost full but i know that doesnt rule out air in the lines.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 2004 - Won't Start Suddenly?

Car (04 GLI) was running completely fine for the past few months (since I bought it) and I get off work last night and it doesn't start. Lights/accessories turn on fine. Got the battery tested and it's fully charged. Alternator was tested 2 months ago and was perfect. I assume it's the ignition switch/starter. Had to get it towed. God that horrible noise when a lowered car is pulled onto a flatbed. The guy was nice and tried his hardest not to mess anything up. Will update once I find out the issues.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 2004 1.8t GLI - Lean Code PO171

I got a 04 mk4 gli 1.8t and I got a po171 lean code and I know it could be a vacuum leak the maf sensor and other things. But when I clear the code it takes a couple days for it to come back on. But when I do clear it and start the car for the first time the car idles read bad almost sounds like miss fire. The when I pull out it hesitates just for a little than runs fine. Could this be a bad or dirty maf sensor? Like I said it takes a while for the cel to come back on.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Buzzing Noise When Accelerating 2004 BMP GLI

04 BMP GLI, 135000kms

This odd noise just started today. Whenever i accelerate at any rate, an odd "buzzing" sound occurs. It almost sounds like a diesel... Boost is not holding as it should, and I get exhaust backfires in first, second, and third gear. Makes no noise when i lay off the throttle, only when i touch the gas... I don't have a VAG-com, I'm thinking a exhaust leak or boost leak.
