Is something wrong....it's an 05 with a full history ect ect, it pulls well but when kicking down not much difference. it goes well yes but nothing great despite being the 140hp model....Is it me

It is difficult to say, the feel is very subjective, you need to try another. You could have a fault code read done to see if anything is stored and if nothing is there, replace the Air Mass Meter with a genuine VAG part, but it's a gamble.

True...I forgot I had my scan tool or would have did it....but for something that seemingly needs nothing I'm certainly not buying a maf right away....I'll keep looking

The tdi140s in my opinion have a very linear power delivery. They don't give a 'shove' like say, the older tdi130s do.
