  1. [moved] Vr6 v 150bhp GTTDI (230lbft of torque!!!!!!)

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted

    I went upto the dragstrip a couple of years back with a couple of lads off the mk4 forum, one of them has an Anniversary so we had a bit of a tussle on the way up there. I couldn't get him off my back bumper at all so imagine my surprise when we got there and he popped the bonnet and sat there was a TDi (chipped to 190bhp) - he ran down the strip and got identical time to my other mate with a 200bhp 1.8t. When I was racing with him I didn't think for a minute that a diesel could be as quick as a VR, so I never underestimate them these days lol

  3. How many highlines?

    It was an optional extra. As Binliner said Ian's car has it, his is a N plate car, you see it on a lot of the green and silver later 'highlines'. I think its loads of hassle to retrofit it however :( The European 'Syncro' Highlines have it as standard, as well as 4wd :D:D

  12. Worried about the noise.....

    lol.. I had a powerflow fitted a couple of weeks back and I got asked the same question: 'how noisy do you want it mate?' - 'ermm no I don't want it noisy' was my reply, and sure enough, its quieter than the standard system upto 4/4500rpm when it starts to really sing, which to be honest is pretty cool just the way I like it. Its also dulled somewhat since fitting, as Justin says they get a bit coked up and bed in nicely :)

  16. Galvanised?

    Yes its true you need FVWSH and also you need to be able to literally push your finger through the rust to even begin a warranty claim. Tommy is correct they'll try everything to avoid doing any warranty work as I found when I had my mk4. The 12yrs thing is a little misleading really as my mk4 was 3yrs and a week old but they wouldn't touch it :( :(

    Hi again - sorry to be a pain, but is this the correct location for the ISV? Could someone circle the ISV for me?

    I've obtained some carb cleaner and will give it a good clean when I've worked out exactly which part needs to come off!

    Jules: Again many thanks for the help, I have been through the engine/measuring block section of VagCom but I can't find the "Idle Adaptation" or "Part Throttle Adaptation" value?

    sorry if I sound like a thicko - its not that I'm not mechanically minded, just I'd hate to get it wrong and break anything :o

    lol @ Nick :D

    funny name for a colour I must admit I chuckled then.

    Breakers might have one, otherwise there's a chap on eBay that breaks a lot of VWs I think - sorry I cannot remember his username but maybe worth a search?

  23. Engine stalling

    I've got a similar problem on mine - it just needs a blip of the throttle to start, only when the engine is warm. Its more apparent in the warm weather and sometimes stalls when pulling up.

    On VAG-Com it says:

    00533 - Idle Speed Regulation

    14-00 - Adaptation Limit (Add) Exceeded

    Readiness: N/A

    Does anyone think that cleaning my isv might cure the problem?

    sorry if I'm being thick here
