How Do,
I have had my golf for 5 days now and I'm starting to convince myself theres something wrong with it, its a PD115.
When accelerating it pulls well from 1.5k all the way to about 3.5k but then seems to not quite pull as well from 3.5-4.5k.
I thought this was normal for a diesel until I drove a mates passat 110 yesterday which seemed to pull as well if not better between 3.5-4.5k as it did lower down the revs.
When giving the car some beans this means I am constantly between 3.5-4.5k through the gears and it doesnt seem as quick as I thought it would be.
My questions is do you all find the above to be true, is there more power lower down than higher up? This is most noticeable in first and second where it shoves you back in your seat as you go through the lower revs then when you hit 3.5 it actually shoves you forward a little bit as the rate of acceleration decreases.
If this is not the case any idea what it might be?
If this is the case where is best to change gear?
Sorry for the essay [
