Following on from the recent poll 'how fast have you been in your golf?' I have begun to question why I can't seem to get above 120mph from my PD 130? I do have Audi S3 17" but surely this wouldn't knock off 10-20mph top end would it?

0-120 she pulls like a train but after that its like being a kid with my go-kart again - looking for a downward slope with the wind in my favour [)]

I'm gonna check the data sticker once the g/f bring's it home. Its making me wonder if I actually do own a PD130!

Or are all these 120+ claims only possible with a re-map?

I have had my 110 with tuning box reading 125 on the speedo on the brum bypass road

however i dont know how accurate that reading is at that speed and with 18's

ive had 125mphout of a revo'd 130. it was still pulling but i ran out of runway, the tdi engines lose all there good torque cos the gearing wont keep the revs down.

 

[golfv64mo]

I've had my standard PD130 up to 125 on the A5 pretty easily. I was hoping a remap would see it close to 140...

Umm - still baffelled as to how you people are seeing those figures! I struggle to get 120, anything after that is a push. Might it be because I only have 16k on the clock - does it need time to loosen up [?]

does your car have a wire cable throttle or electronic drive-by-wire?

might be the cable is a little loose so your not getting full throttle

 

[adam10780]

Not sure mate - but its just had its first service and was an 04 plate! so I hope its not loose!

 

[ianhg]

hope an 04 plate isnt a cable throttle!

 

[adam10780]

how do I tell?

According to "Road Angel" i've had 130 out of my 130 PD totally standard engine.

I can only assume she's still tight. Give her time she'll loosen up []

 

[Reflex TDI]

With Road Angel and Superchips map my old PD130 showed 141 []

 

[Rivage]

All TDI and PD diesels are DBW. I've seen 130mph and rising in a standard PD130 (loan car) on 15" Avus IIs.

My own remapped 110 TDI took a long stretch of clear autobahn to see an indicated 130 - she will do no more. 125 is more the norm on a good day running 17s.

Adam - you have my 'figures' by PM - to avoid any repriesals!! LOL

 

[whiteboy]

Yep Foxy only done 19000 miles. 130 is good for me at the moment, I like the Midrange anyway!!!

 

[whiteboy]

Also missed out on a rather crude joke there too....Damn!

 

[TDI-ROCKET]

ive had mine at 130mph just as it entered the redline while racing some muppet in a civic[] but my dads been one further and pulled 155mph in his "street sleeper" 130 PDTDI. id say if i asked nicely he'd do it again for a pic.

[whiteboy]

What mods has he done to get it to do that???

 

[TDI-ROCKET]

soz whiteboy but your guess is as good as mine he tells me jack..!

he says it pulls like a horse up till 130mph then it feels like its fighting that whole aerodynamics thing and it redlines to fast to get any further.

god i cant wait im getting a 130PDTDI in june, HE THINKS his is fast

MOOwwhahaha
