Hi guys,
My new (to me) Golf TDI 90 bhp, that I was initially led to believe was
100 bhp, but isn't, seems to be pretty flat performance wise.I'm not a boy-racer, and mostly drive in an economical manner, but does the flollowing sound wrong to you?
Although the car is quite nippy (by my lowly standards) at low speeds and low revs, in a faster situation its a different story. Even a slight hill (at say 60 mph) seems to stop any speed increase dead.
On the few occasions I've tried on the flat, my impression is that the car will never do more than 80 mph, and this is with my foot flat down.
Going up hills can be embarassing, particuarly if I don't approach them at some speed.
I've had a bit of a google and people talk a lot about the MAF. I disconnected the associated connector tonight, to see if I noticed any improvement, and the result was maybe a tiny bit (if any) at low speed but generally no real difference.
So I don't know - this is my first diesel, it does a good job of getting me from A to B, but is something wrong here.
Appreciate any thoughts.
Cheers,
Angus.
All the best, Angus Manwaring. (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
