CALICO

Heres mine

You should get your own thread started. Looks good interesting that you have it all turbo'd up but so few posts have you any history of the making of it?

Yes but it wasn't a MK2. I'm still lurking .

i only have an had an air filter fitted and mine made 197 on the rollers

turn it into a deisel as vw intended lol
could get a tuning company onto it but tune it for economy not performance

well it certainly re-awoke this thread lol Creepy Crawley for me got its name before I moved here.

Holy thread revival batman 12 year gap

Yes mines an ARL the person who mapped mine is running over 400bhp at the moment in an audi a4 3.0 diesel

CALICO, is it an ARL? Which came with 150hp and a 6-speed?
My friend has an AGR 1.9 TDI tuned up to ~200hp. I also know a couple of people with tuned 1.9 / 2.5 / 3.0 TDIs via a group.
These engines are awesome, but yeah, you can easily spend a couple grands on the next stage

I run a 1.9tdi pd running 197 bhp after just a remap they can go up to 300 with extra grand's spent.

bird slaying, vr6 destroying diesel power!!!

All depends on your budget Im running a sachs clutch dmf but im running diesel power nowadays and diesels don't like smf

Its a 1999 5 speed jetta VR6 (GLS I believe). I bought it used a few weeks ago.
But what I'm saying is that at cruising speed (say 65mph or 70mph in 5th gear on the highway) the motor remains at 4000 rpm. I don't think it's a matter of the gauge being broken because I can hear how high it's revving. And I feel like that is a lot of strain on the motor. Especially when traveling like that for an hour or two.
So that's why I wasn't sure about whether it was an ECU issue not.... But it makes sense what was said about the transmission gears being larger and requiring higher rpm to maintain that speed. It just seems strange that this problem even exists.
Could a new tranny be the solution?
This is my First Volkswagen and the first time I've experienced this so bear with me.
Thanks for your help guys.

Sorry I thought 99 vr6 were the mk4 and therefore had a 6th gear. Clearly you have no 6th gear or sense of humour lol
Maybe if you posted exactly what car you had as I thought the mk3 finished in 98 and why like a post that clearly you hated?

Try putting it in 6th see if that helps.

His head is off so cant do compression or leakdown

How did they manage to crash into  fork lift truck?

Inside the boot remove the offside trim panel and you should see the mechanism to release it just remove it and no more problems

I like the more door but most people prefer the 3 welcome to the club.

The prices will never rocket for a mk3 there nowhere near as desirable as the mk1 or 2

you don't want to be putting plastic shoot bearings in they wont last long.
