The DV can go bad. I've seen a few. The early models had a different DV than the newer cars. They upgraded the diaphragm. That being said, the car probably just needs a tune up

Car doesn't pull, logs posted, advice needed ? ? ?

Yes plugs are new (500km) NGK platinum series (PLFER7A8EG). Coils are original.
Another odd thing, besides the lack of power, is the terrible fuel economy. I get around 15-16 L / 100 km in the city without flooring it. When cruising in second around 1800-2200 rpm I ofter see a steady 11-13 L/100 current consumption.

Is it possible for the ECU to lower power in case of certain errors ? I have had an oil temp sensor error and someone said the power loss may be related.

Only if it goes into limp mode I think.
Do you have the oil temp display turned on in the center MFD? If yes, what does it read?
I have no idea what you mean
The warnings I get on the two displays are below.Also there is a screen with oil temp on the dash display, where it reads "－－－"

When I had a Veloster turbo and the purge control valve went bad it was the same symptoms you said.
Yeah, some valve or actuator or something similar, which controls/regulates other actual power generating parts (e.g. turbo, engine valves, pumps etc.), that is one of the prime suspects I thought about. Now if only I could find the little fucker, because it seems there are few mechanics which are really familiar with this type of engine around here, and even less willing to work on it ?
The other theories being either it's the ECU pulling down power because of the errors. Or there is something wrong with the software - since the flash counter is at 1, but there are no details given about the tool used or identity of whoever flashed it, so it might be some type of aftermarket fuckup
Does noone have any clues from looking at the logs ?

Yea, this boost curve looks weird as hell. Are you sure it's the stock tune? I don't mean tuned for power, because your boost would be way higher, but is this an OEM tune or a recreation of the OEM tune?
I have no idea, I just know it's been re-flashed (counter is at 1), and there are no details written about the tool used or any identification of who did it. So a mechanic who tested it said it doesn't look like the work of an official dealer. I can go to a dealer next week and hopefully write over the official software.

That might be a good idea. Will the dealers in europe have the 1.8t software though?
Theoretically they have access to the VW servers and can download it. But in practice, can anyone here send me the genuine 1.8t software ? I can give all the details about the car in private.
