zeromx Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi, Ive got a 110bhp GT TDI GOLF MK4 (2000) and the performace of the car is not impressive as it should be, a friend of mine has a 2001 GOLF MK4 115bhp ESTATE and it seems to be way more powerful... a couple of questions, does the diesel filter affect performace? i removed my K&N induction kit and the performace feels more of less the same. could a service help?... the turbo on the car doesnt seem to hitting as it should....would a eletrical diagnose help?...

Wobby Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 The 115bhp is a PD engine and will probably seem smoother and might be slightly faster. I have no idea really. I changed from a 110bhp to 130bhp in the Passat and noticed a huge difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjie Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I think the difference you're noticing is because your car is a 110 TDi, and your friend's is a 115 TDi PD - It's Pumpe Deuse which means a fuel reaction under tons more pressure than a non-PD engine will ever create - that makes for a quicker response. I could be wrong, but I'm sure that trhe PD engines were introduced on late 2000W/early 2000X models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjie Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Just read what you put about the turbo - the car should start really pulling at 1900rpm, up to about 4000, then it'll tail off pretty quickly. I know a common fault tyat causes slowing down is the MAF, try plugging your car into a VAG-COM program, as that will tell you if the MAF sensor is buggered. Also, you mentioned "Will a service help" - it dependas, if it's been more than 10000 since your last one, I would say get it serviced as oil changes are important on diesels (apparently) Hope I've helped and not gone on too much!
